ReadingWise Zip

ReadingWise Zip is an adaptive supplementary phonics program for pupils that need to progress rapidly with their phonics. The program is structured to deliver systematic, evidence-based phonics support that cater to a wide range of learners. 


One part of becoming a confident reader is securing letter-sound correspondences. Zip facilitates this at the individual level, meaning pupils learn and reinforce at their own pace. The system identifies and focuses on areas of weakness.

How ReadingWise Zip Works

Each learner has their own account; they are presented with lessons the content of which focuses on areas for improvement.


They move on rapidly from content in which they demonstrate confidence. The learner can see their overall accuracy, accumulation of tokens which are correlated to accuracy and can dig down into more detail if desirable.


​Overall, the Zip module within ReadingWise is an essential tool for developing early literacy skills and laying a strong foundation for more complex reading tasks later on.

Evidence Based Methodology

Zip is grounded in evidence-based strategies, offering supplementary phonics support for learners. Research carried out on the Zip program funded the Department for Education in England showed that learners on Zip closed their reading gap (the gap between their reading age and their chronological age) by 2.5 months in just 2 hours 50 minutes of Zip.

Personalised and Adaptive Learning

Each child’s progress is tracked, allowing the programme to adapt to their specific reading gaps. Zip allows children to learn at their own pace and repeats areas that are not secure. This personalised approach ensures that every learner gets the right level of support.

Interactive and Engaging

The program includes short interactive exercises designed to be used daily for 5-10 minutes. Token acquisition and rockets to show streaks of accuracy help to maintain engagement.
