Why VIP Reading?

What our teachers say

"VIP reading is a great mix of carefully chosen, high quality modern and classic texts which instil a real love for reading. It allows children to become lost in a book and experience the true meaning of reading for pleasure. As well as this, VIP Reading encourages talk and discussion around books and authors, raising the profile of reading without it being forced."

Hannah Ashton, Assistant Headteacher, Sheffield

What our SENCOs say

"As a SENCo in a Primary School, I highly recommend VIP Reading. It is such an inclusive system with a huge number of accessible books, fab illustrations that the children love and an assessment system that my children are excited to respond to. Previously non-keen readers are now enthusiastic to dive into their next book! Just when I thought that VIP couldn’t be anymore inclusive for SEN children, they’ve added multiple choice questions to the relevant quizzes which means that children can achieve great scores and consequently get a huge self-esteem boost!"

Emma Lintin, SENCO, Lincoln

What our teaching assistants say

"As a 1:1 teaching assistant, I supported a child with a full-time EHC with a severe hearing impairment, who really struggled with reading comprehension. During our VIP Reading experience, he excelled in this area using the VIP quizzes and even began answering questions independently."

Sharron Briggs, 1:1 Teaching Assistant, Lincoln

What our pupils say

"VIP has helped me so much with my vocabulary in my writing. This has made me want to read a lot more. I always look forward to choosing another new book because there's so many to choose from. The books are very exciting and interesting. We are very lucky to have this in our school."

Louis, Lincoln

What our pupils say

"VIP Reading has helped me and inspired me to read more often. I like getting stars for reading different levels of books. I think the variety of books and quizzes makes reading easier. It's really fun getting to meet and talk to authors. Reading is the spice of life!"

Natalie, Lincoln
