Ransom Reading Stars Achieve Phonics
Ransom Reading Stars Achieve Phonics supports older students who are working below expected reading levels, providing accessible and engaging books that help develop essential literacy skills. Designed with the interests and maturity of older readers in mind, the programme combines age-appropriate content with manageable reading demands, helping students experience success without feeling that they are reading books intended for younger children.
Through carefully selected topics, engaging narratives and accessible text, Achieve encourages students to develop their reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension. The programme provides valuable opportunities for supported reading, independent practice and literacy intervention, helping reluctant and developing readers build motivation, confidence and a more positive relationship with reading.

Helping older learners become confident, independent readers
Not every student develops reading fluency at the same pace. For students in Years 3–6 who need additional support, age-appropriate decodable readers provide valuable opportunities to strengthen essential phonics skills while engaging with content suited to their interests and maturity.
Carefully structured decodable texts help students revisit and consolidate letter–sound relationships, practise blending and decoding, and develop greater reading accuracy and automaticity. High-interest stories and accessible reading levels support engagement without compromising the systematic practice needed to build stronger reading skills.
Explore our range of Years 3–6 decodable programmes and intervention resources, designed to support targeted literacy instruction, build reading confidence and help students progress towards fluent, independent reading.
