Rapid Reading

Benchmark books for each stage mirror the look and feel of the readers and are designed to be read for assessment after the readers of the same level

Rapid Reading includes a variety of teaching materials to support varied ways of learning. These include:

• comprehensive teaching guides, including reading notes and suggestions for speaking and listening
• detailed notes for teachers and families on the inside front and back covers of each reader
• recommendations for follow-up activities that extend students’ comprehension, spelling and writing skills.

With a single login, students can access books, games and activities from the classroom or home that include:

• a read-to-me function to demonstrate fluent reading and hook students into the text
• audio-only instructions to make activities less intimidating and difficult
• activities designed to help develop decoding and comprehension.

Students build confidence away from the classroom by:

• earning rewards as they read and comprehend
• receiving increasingly helpful feedback with each wrong answer
• accessing audio prompts for individual words (up to Stage 6) when they get stuck
• complementing at-home reading with a phonemes and graphemes pronunciation guide.

ActiveLearn Primary’s online platform allows you to:

• easily find and utilise a wealth of teaching material
• utilise in-depth planning, assessment, and reporting tools
• search and allocate readers to students
• track, assess and report on students’ reading progress.
