How Does it Work?

Published by Oxford University Press, Project X CODE is a highly motivational series of 3D adventure books based on a structured progression of phonics, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Teaching and Assessment Handbooks with detailed session notes support a trained teaching assistant or teacher to teach a small group of children for 30 minutes four times a week. Sessions are based on the books and help the children to overcome difficulties in reading, develop their skills and increase their enjoyment of reading.

"The training hasn’t just helped our teaching assistant to deliver Project X CODE –

it has transformed the way she supports children’s reading in class lessons."

 Rachel Crouch, Head Teacher, St Nicholas Primary School, Oxford

​

Impact on Achievement

Over 5,000 pupils in Years 1 to 8 have been supported by trained teaching assistants with Project X CODE in 400 schools.

  • They made an average Reading Age gain of 12 months after 4.5 months of support by trained teaching assistants - almost 70% more than the gain achieved in schools where the intervention ran without training.

  • Their comprehension scores rose by 70% - over twice the gain achieved in schools where the intervention ran without training.

 

“Teaching Project X CODE is the highlight of my day - seeing how much the children

enjoy their learning and watching their self-confidence grow.”

Teaching Assistant, Belmont Primary School, Bexley
