Project X really does consider the needs of the whole school, with the inclusion of related phonics resources that support the teacher in extending phonics development beyond the content of each book through associated activity cards. The presentation of each story is outstanding, with illustrations and page layouts that will appeal to young readers due to their modern styling. Each cluster pack contains a discrete story which is more broadly linked to other cluster packs through familiar characters and larger story arcs. The sheer quality of writing is the stand-out element of this resource. The books themselves are arranged into cluster packs, which have been grouped on a common theme and include a range of fiction and non-fiction genres. However, the Project X whole-school reading programme - designed to appeal to boys from Reception to Y6, without alienating girls – could offer a genuine solution.
When you combine this with the considerable financial investment required by a school, the decision is all the more difficult. All too often, reading programmes are very well packaged, brilliantly marketed and profess to cater for the ‘whole school’ but don’t always deliver on these promises. Finding the perfect reading scheme has long been the educational Holy Grail.
