Effective Phonics, from Nursery to Secondary

We have a complete phonics system with suitable resources for every age, from 3 through to 73 (yes, we have taught a 73-year-old man to read).

It is ideal for mainstream in KS1, KS2 and KS3.  That also means it works well in SEND/SEMH settings, where there is often a wide age range.

Our KS1 resources are fully validated by the DfE. And everything we do is evidence based, to ensure you maximise your outcomes.

More fun for children and teachers

We know that switching phonics curriculum is an important decision. So we will guarantee that you will see is engaged children and teachers who are more relaxed and happy teaching phonics. If not, we will take it all away for a full refund at any time in the first term.

There is lots of evidence that children who are having fun and really engaging with the content, learn faster. 

Our simple lesson plans mean that your teachers can pick up the resources and begin to teach them without hours of lesson planning, without an arduous training programme and without straitjacket scripting of each lesson.

Save effort with edtech

We will also give you access to our premium digital resources to test. Those include:

  1. An online assessment process the children can access independently (saving you hours every term).
  2. A full online library of decodable books aligning with the curriculum, that the parents can also access from home (saving you lost books).
  3. Powerpoint lessons that help build consistency across the whole team.
This is a way to have consistency across the school and to see that each class is secure on the knowledge they need.
“It's going really well. Really impressed and chuffed with the results. The majority of the children are getting 80-100%”

Avoid the rocks of frustration

We have mapped the little barriers to reading progress faced by some children.

You can explore what those barriers are in our book The 9 Main Causes of Reading Difficulty.

Or you can read an executive summary here.

What you get

In KS1, All Aboard Phonics is a validated systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) resource, designed to make teaching phonics easier, more fun and consistently successful. This is how:

  1. A fully tested curriculum, based on 10 years of usage
  2. Unique trainertext intervention processes, to boost whole class results
  3. New technology, to make your life easier every day
If you have older students needing help, then we recommend the Reading Copilot version of our system. It is much simpler and more age appropriate for those students.

Printed and digital Resources

All Aboard Phonics is also now the most complete system you will find, with curriculum to cover preschool to Year 2, plus a KS2 intervention. 

It combines printed materials, digital materials and edtech resources, to deliver an integrated solution.

This is what is available:

  1. Curriculum manuals for 4 years of phonics instruction, with every resource needed right in the teaching manual 
  2. Durable printed flashcards and other printed resources 
  3. Posters that track the curriculum and engage the learners 
  4. Powerpoint lessons, with audio and animations
  5. Online bite-sized training videos for teachers and parents
  6. A complete printed or online library of 120 decodable books 
  7. Online assessments and a progress dashboard 
  8. A unique keep-up printed intervention system 

All our resources are research-based, to get the maximum outcomes for your pupils, with the least investment in time for your busy team.

Our mission is to lift your results towards 100% success, while reducing your workload and stress.

How to Move From 'Good' to 'Excellent'

Moving from good to excellent results in literacy is achieved by boosting the results of your struggling learners. A solution for each of your struggling readers means every class in the school packed with fully literate children.

Our particular expertise at All Aboard Learning is how to help those children in each class who find phonics hard. We have researched our intervention processes by working directly with over 15,000 struggling readers.

You can see comments from teachers and parents who we have worked with on our Easyread Facebook page. You can also see the independent academic study of our intervention processes here, which showed an average gain of 2 years of reading age in 4-6 months.

“We have recently had Ofsted. Early reading/phonics was a strength and Ofsted were really happy with AAP. They loved how the trainertext was being used in other subjects to support reading.”

Online Tracking of Progress

Each teaching manual has an integrated assessment process, so that you can be sure the whole cohort are progressing together. With a Premium Subscription, you can do each assessment within your All Aboard Learner Management System and see the progress presented digitally for each child.

So… no more hours spent collating results on bits of paper or spreadsheets! See them all on your dashboards as soon as the assessments are done.

Never Lose Another Decodable Book!

We offer a complete set of decodable books for purchase that integrate with the curriculum, week by week. They have been getting rave reviews.

These decodable books are accessible to parents online if you subscribe to Premium. That means you can keep your printed copies safe in the classroom.

It also means you can release the new books each week at the click of a button.

Free Teacher Training

The training processes offered for phonics teaching are often awkward to attend and very expensive. We do not believe that is necessary with modern technology and a well-designed course.

Instead, we use a menu of free bite-sized online training sessions, which are convenient for teachers to access and allow consistency to be maintained across the whole team at any time. You can also pick up the phone to chat with us at any time! You can read more about our training here.

Fully Research-Based Resources

Everything you access through All Aboard Phonics is deeply researched from a the science of reading knowledge base, including work in neurology, linguistics, history, morphology and more. You can see our research basis here.

The core curriculum reflects the Letters and Sounds process that has been used by thousands of British schools for a decade to great effect.

Added to that is years of research from our direct intervention work since 2008. In recent years, we have seen 100% success in helping struggling readers crack it most months.
