Age-Appropriate Phonics

Read Revive™  Reading System for Older Learners

We challenge the myth that "it’s too late"

Our mission is to unlock reading success by equipping older struggling readers with a fully digital phonics intervention. This is designed for older pupils who can’t yet read confidently using clear, step-by-step phonics teaching so that literacy becomes a right, not a barrier.

Read Revive’s reading system works to bridge the attainment gap and propel children towards functional literacy through engaging, age appropriate texts that are reflective of their interests and real life experiences.

How it began

How it began

Read Revive™ was founded by two SEN specialist teachers with over 30 years of combined experience. While working together in a specialist provision for pupils with communication and interaction needs, Leanne and Georgia recognised a lack of age-appropriate resources for older learners who had not yet learned to read. Determined to challenge the idea that systematic phonics should stop after primary school, they created Read Revive to provide structured, respectful and engaging reading support for these learners.

Pricing

Read Revive™ offers a tiered subscription based on the number of learners using the reading system. All pricing is provided following a short consultation so we can understand your setting’s needs and ensure the most suitable and cost-effective package.

“Systematic synthetic phonics approaches explicitly teach pupils a comprehensive set of letter-sound relationships in a pre-planned sequence. There is extensive evidence that this benefits Key Stage 1 pupils’ learning, and also older pupils who struggle to decode.”

Assessment

We begin with a tailored assessment to establish each child’s baseline starting point and to track measurable progress over time. However, our programme is intentionally holistic and child-centred — recognising that every learner is unique, and progress is not only shown in data but in growing confidence, enjoyment, and a love of reading.
 
Training

Training

We provide bespoke training tailored to a wide range of needs and settings, ensuring support that is practical, relevant, and impactful. Our flexible approach allows us to deliver training either in person or online, making it accessible for foster homes, care homes, schools, and other care-based environments. We also work with schools and homes overseas, supporting pupils who are learning English or who have English as a second language. By working closely with each organisation, we adapt our content to reflect real-world challenges, empowering teams and learners with the knowledge and confidence they need to make a meaningful difference.

Activities and Resources​

Each package includes a set of sound cards designed to build automaticity and fluency with key phonics patterns. These cards can be used for daily quick-fire practice, games, blending drills, and repetition activities that help sounds become instantly recognised. By making this practice hands-on and fun, the sound cards support confident decoding and smoother, more fluent reading over time.
