Pathways to Read is an innovative, exciting and inclusive sequence of learning which engages children with the many aspects of the National Curriculum through high-quality texts.
In these testing times, reading is an essential resource for escape and the planning units and slides that the Literacy Company provide, allow access to many wonderful worlds. Our children get to discover these worlds from the comfort of their classroom in a low-threat, high-impact environment. I would highly recommend these units to any teacher - they provide your students with a pathway to learning ... and imagination.

We have been working with The Literacy Company since June 2017 and have seen a real improvement in the quality of teaching and learning of English throughout that time. Overall, we have found the support offered by The Literacy Company to be invaluable and highly effective and we thank them for this support.

‘Wow!! The Literacy Company have worked their magic again to develop a set of amazing Writing ‘catch up’ units. The units use high quality tests such as Of thee I sing: a letter to my daughters - all linked to Black Lives matter and they pick up on some of the key learning elements that need revision from the previous year. Teachers at Kelsall enjoy the structure of the units and have developed their own creative responses to them. I am so pleased to work in partnership with the Literacy Company. Their units of work are always of a high quality and help to support teacher workload. Thank you to an amazing team.’

As a new to Y6 teacher this course gave lots of practical ideas to allow children to revise reading skills in a fun and meaningful way not just pass tests. Brilliant session and the shared knowledge really supported the session. Lots of time to reflect and talk. Lots of real learning ideas. Thank you Christine, your knowledge is inspiring.

‘Pathways to Write has transformed the way in which we teach English. Our children are more engaged, are writing more, reading more and love learning. It has also helped to ensure our English curriculum is progressive and takes on a mastery approach to developing writing, and we are seeing a real difference already.’

‘The planning already seems to be having an impact in our school after one term. The children are much clearer in what they need to include in their writing and I love the way the planning returns to teaching points to consolidate learning. The books are really engaging too and allow for lots of links with reading skills.’

"The Pathways to Progress materials are a great resource. I like that it can be used as a standalone program, but also that it supports our current Pathways to Write planning. The children are enjoying the sessions and are actively engaged in them. Having all the resources available, including ready-made subject knowledge videos, means that I am able to set up the intervention with ease."

Pathways to Write has completely transformed English at Farnworth. Staff love teaching the units, which are very easy to follow yet so full of amazing opportunities to develop children’s skills progressively. This approach enables us to foster a love of literature through memorable experiences that are accessible to all. Children are so engaged and enthusiastic, and staff feel renewed by such a fun, creative approach to teaching.

‘As an international school, we are constantly striving to ensure that our curriculum and practice is in-line with the very best schools in the UK. The exceptional whole school training provided by the Literacy Company team has given our teachers a much improved confidence boost in planning and delivering Literacy and Guided Reading lessons.'

'We love it because it is brilliant and makes a difference to our children!!!'

'The Literacy Company have provided outstanding support for out school. They have taken time to understand our needs and have consistently put in place outstanding packages of support for both teachers and the English Curriculum team . Their support has consistently helped us in our journey moving from RI to securing Good.'

The resources you provided are excellent and really exciting and engaging. Delivery was knowledgeable, professional and incredibly useful to me and our school's context.

'In our recent Ofsted visit it was recognised  that our curriculum was coherently planned and well sequenced. Pathways to Write has been fantastic – it has been the cornerstone of our curriculum planning. The texts have been engaging , the children love and respond well to them. The planning materials have supported staff in the teaching and delivery of mastery skills. The impact upon children’s attitudes towards writing and success has been phenomenal.

I cannot recommend enough Pathways to Write and the superb team at the Literacy Company.'
