BRI Beginning Reading Instruction ARI Advanced Reading Instruction

  • Early intervention for struggling readers

    The stories are carefully structured and provide the ‘know-how’ and practice that are vital for struggling readers.

  • Effective reading instruction for home use

    The first little tales contain just three words and five sounds so that children are able to read right from day one.

  • English as a foreign language

    BRI-ARI is the result of many years of research and development by linguists and educational psychologists. It has been extensively trialled and tested. The text is ideal for children whose first language isn't English.

  • Comprehensive instruction for tutors and SEN teachers

    BRI-ARI’s uncomplicated structure and straightforward directions allow specialist tutors and SENCOs to teach virtually all pupils to read, including those with significant learning difficulties. The books are the ideal choice for preparing children for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.

BRI-ARI, a feast of books for children, contains text that is 100% decodable. Each new letter/sound correspondence is clearly introduced and rigorously practised.

These books contain vibrant stories offering an unrivalled opportunity to develop accurate decoding with enhanced comprehension resulting in confident, fluent reading. Fully compatible with Synthetic Phonics, the meticulously chosen vocabulary, combined with ample interleaving and overlearning, ensures that decoding becomes second nature.
