How Does Stride Ahead Work?

This is a frequent question that parents and tutors ask us.

Thankfully, you don’t have to be trained in any field of education to tutor Stride Ahead. Almost any literate person can help students learn to improve their reading skills and comprehension. Tutoring Stride Ahead is not restricted to members of the teaching profession only.

In fact, the manual often works better with non-professionals! Why? Because non-professionals do not come to the task of ‘How is Stride Ahead delivered’ with any pre-conceived notions on how to teach. As a result, they simply follow the very detailed instructions in Stride Ahead to the letter.

Genuinely, ANYONE who can read fluently and who has a desire to help others can tutor with Stride Ahead.

  • A parent wanting to help their child’s education
  • A grandparent or family member who daily spends time with a child
  • A teenager could very effectively coach their younger sibling
  • An older student acting as a peer to a younger student
“It gives a fantastic foundation in literacy skills. My son came top of his class in reading after going through Stride Ahead.”

The Buddy System

Indeed, the ‘Buddy System’ of older students schooling younger students with both Stride Ahead and Toe By Toe has proven extremely successful.

Similarly, UK prisons have used Stride Ahead and Toe By Toe to combat adult dyslexia and illiteracy in the prison population.

As in the Buddy System at schools, prisoners act as tutors to fellow prisoners.

Toe By Toe in Prisons has been hugely successful on many levels.
