Educator Appraisal
Stride Ahead is a study book that helps individuals with reading difficulties improve comprehension. If a child has ADHD, EAL or dyslexia, it can help them decode and improve their reading comprehension. I like that it seems like a simple tool for decoding and reading comprehension. It's easily accessible, it improves academic performance, and it doesn't require staff training. I didn't like that it is quite time-consuming, expensive, and that it relies on a specific phonics scheme and other resources to go with it, such as stairway spelling and toe by toe.

Evidence Rating
Stride ahead builds on the underlying theory of Toe by Toe. However, we were unable to identify any reliable evidence which demonstrates its effective implementation.
