From The Bottom Of The Set… To The Top Of The Class

An automated, group-based reading program for African and Caribbean students. We bridge the literacy gap using stories that promote identity, confidence and belonging.

African and Caribbean student reading inclusive literature - The Reading Project

How The Reading Project Works

Global Literacy Masterclasses

Instant access to a curriculum of on-demand reading lessons using inclusive Global Literature and the “Think-Aloud” methodology.

The Scholars’ Peer Hub

A private group-based reading program where students post video reflections and analyse books with a cohort of 15 peers.

Reading Mastery Tracking

Real-time feedback through self-marking quizzes that build “reading muscle” and ensure students move from decoding to critical analysis

1 in 2 students enters secondary school struggling with literacy

In 2026, reading enjoyment is at an all-time low. Don’t let your child disengage because they don’t see their heritage in the curriculum.

Reading is about Belonging

I founded The Reading Progress Plan because representation is the ultimate gateway to literacy. Research shows that 1 in 2 Black children struggle to find books that reflect their lives—a gap that directly impacts reading engagement.
As a British Caribbean educator, I don’t just teach reading; I curate mirrors. By combining iconic literature from African and Caribbean voices with our ‘Immersion Reading’ method, I help students build the confidence and ‘reading muscle’ they need to thrive in Year 7 and beyond.

This Is For You If:

You want an independent and intense reading booster for your Year 7-10 child.
