Reading Copilot Intervention System
Reading Copilot is our new school reading intervention system for students aged 8+. It is not more of the same (that has already failed for these students). It takes a different path. If the conventional GPC-teaching approach has not worked after 4 years of effort, can we agree that it is time to try something new?
We call this new approach a ‘behavioural learning methodology’. What do I mean by that? Well, reading is a skill, like walking talking and catching a ball. You master every skill by getting good practice, with the help of a great coach.
You and your colleagues are the great coaches your children need… all we provide is the right reading practice environment for them. We do that with trainertext, which is unique to All Aboard Learning, and our Baseline Analytical Reading Test, which looks for the patterns of the nine main causes of reading difficulty.
Age Appropriate
All the materials in the Reading Copilot Trainertext Library are designed to be suitable for older students. It can be very challenging for an older student to be doing the same thing they were when they were 5,
There is no need for them to feel patronised. Indeed, many of the brightest people on the planet have found reading hard, for reasons we can explain.
Once they understand that and start to use something age appropriate that is clearly helping, you will see them getting excited that they might be finally breaking through this barrier.
Hands Free
The system is designed so that the student can do the daily sessions unassisted. This is clearly a game changer, given the constant pressure on staff time.
The routine we recommend is that the students do their reading practice solo with the trainertext there for support. Then they demonstrate their fluency with that same text to their reading coach.
Those minutes with the reading coach are important for building their psychology of growth and success. Most students will initially need a few 1:1 sessions to build up their self-belief in being able to work through the text unassisted with the trainertext.
Holistic
So, how are we able to get better results with the Reading Copilot Intervention System?
The key is that the intervention process is learner-focused. We track nine different possible causes of difficulty for a student and ensure that we have overcome every barrier that they face.
This is completely different to the process-focus of conventional reading interventions. They are neither aware of or set up for most of the potential barriers that we are tracking. If a single issue is left unaddressed, then the intervention will be a failure. That is why conventional interventions fail so often that most schools deem them a waste of resources.
Evidence Based
You can check the results of the randomised control trial done by the Open University here. The cohort of 90 children were 2+ years behind and all caught up bar one within 6 months of trainertext intervention.
We have been delivering reading intervention processes since 2008 and have worked directly with over 15,000 reluctant readers and dyslexics.
There is nothing in our core processes that has not been tested many times.
Expert Supported
You will be supported by an expert All Aboard Reading Coach (AARC), who is trained on the patterns of all nine potential causes of reading frustration.
They are there to make sure you achieve the best and fastest results with all the interventions you are running. That will save you from wasted time and doubts about what is possible.
The support of our AARC team also means that you can get started instantly, rather than having to invest in a lengthy training process. We will become a part of your team as your literacy and dyslexia consultants.
Not-For-Profit
The cost will depend on your setting and the number of students in the school. We will have to create a quote for you.
We run the Reading Copilot Intervention System as a not-for-profit activity.
The Benefits We Guarantee
Are you aware of the costs being generated by your reading impaired minority in each cohort?
This grows and grows year by year of education:
1 – In the early years it may be just some extra reading intervention time.
2 – Once the student should be reading to learn, rather than learning to read, then the classroom support will rise sharply.
3 – As the student approaches their teenage years, things can get a lot more complex. Do you know that over 80% of excluded children are reading impaired? And the figure is the same in the youth custody centres. So you might be dealing with severed and occasionally violent behavioural issues, all generated by this one issue.
Imagine all your teachers being able to get on with their day without this drag on their time and energy. Imagine what they can achieve when they are just teaching the subject matter of the curriculum.
We guarantee that implementing Reading Copilot will save the school money and time in these ways:
– Time released by reduced reading interventions
– Time released by reduced classroom support in subject classes
– Improved progress for the whole cohort due to reduced distraction
– Increased staff retention and reduced recruitment costs
– Improved school-parent relations and Ofsted reviews
If you don’t agree that has been achieved within three months, we will cancel and refund what you have paid us. That is how confident we are in the results you will see.
