The Let’s Fly Reading Programme is a structured, school friendly reading intervention designed to support Key Stage 1 children who are finding reading difficult. Rooted in systematic synthetic phonics and strong phonological awareness foundations, the programme breaks learning into small, manageable steps through a calm, confidence building approach that helps children experience success and make steady progress.

Designed to complement classroom teaching and existing reading schemes, Let’s Fly is particularly effective for pupils who benefit from additional repetition, reinforcement, and guided practise. Alongside decoding and word recognition, the programme supports many of the wider underlying skills involved in reading development, helping children strengthen their understanding of sounds, patterns, sequencing, and language structures in an engaging and achievable way.

One of the key strengths of Let’s Fly is its accessibility within a school setting. Whether used as a targeted intervention, one to one support programme, or part of a small group provision, the structure is simple to follow and easy to implement. Classroom assistants, reading volunteers, gap year students, and support staff can confidently deliver sessions without requiring specialist training or any preparation. The flexible design also allows multiple adults to work consistently with a child, making it easy to continue sessions seamlessly across the school week.

Every aspect of Let’s Fly has been carefully developed with practicality and clarity in mind. All resources, activities, and guidance are included, enabling schools to integrate the programme smoothly into their existing literacy support provision without the need for additional planning or expensive resources.

Importantly, Let’s Fly recognises that struggling with reading can often affect a child’s confidence as much as their attainment. The programme aims to reduce pressure and anxiety around reading by providing a nurturing pathway that prioritises encouragement, achievable success, and positive learning experiences. By helping children feel more capable and confident, Let’s Fly supports both literacy development and emotional wellbeing.

While the programme is highly effective within school intervention settings, it was also originally designed as a ‘one stop shop’ resource to help parents support reading at home. This means schools can confidently recommend Let’s Fly to families who would like additional structured support outside the classroom, helping to create consistency between school and home learning.

For schools looking to strengthen their reading intervention provision, Let’s Fly offers a tailor-made school bundle with free guidance and support designed specifically for educational settings.
