Individualised Reading Programme

Individualised Reading Programme (IRP)

The Individualised Reading Programme (IRP) is a learner-centered approach that supports students according to their reading levels, needs, and pace. It helps teachers, schools, and parents understand each learner’s reading profile, provide targeted instruction, and monitor progress in decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension so reading development becomes more effective, inclusive, and meaningful.

  • TeachersPlan focused instruction based on each learner’s reading strengths and challenges.
  • SchoolsBuild a consistent support system for inclusive literacy development.
  • ParentsUnderstand progress clearly and encourage confident reading practice at home.
IRP Framework

IRP Framework

The Individualised Reading Programme (IRP) Framework is a structured, cyclical model designed to ensure that reading instruction is responsive, data-driven, and learner-specific. It integrates assessment, targeted teaching, guided practice, and continuous feedback into a unified process. Unlike linear teaching models, the IRP framework operates as an ongoing cycle where instruction is constantly refined based on learner progress, ensuring sustained improvement in decoding, fluency, and comprehension.

Core Cycle:
  1. Diagnosis
  2. Grouping
  3. Instruction
  4. Practice
  5. Monitoring
  6. Modification

Each stage informs the next, while monitoring feeds back into diagnosis, making the process continuous and adaptive rather than fixed.

Complete reading profile

Help every child get the right reading support.

Teachers, schools, and parents can guide children through four quick reading checks and then use one comprehensive IRP report to understand strengths, gaps, and the next steps for improvement.

  • See the full picture: review decoding, phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension together.
  • Act with confidence: identify the exact areas where a child needs practice or intervention.
  • Track progress: keep results in one comprehensive report that can guide teachers and families.

Decoding Test

Check how well the child can use phonics patterns to read words accurately.

Phonemic Awareness Tool

Understand the child's ability to hear, identify, and work with individual sounds in words.

Take test

Fluency Tool

Review reading speed, accuracy, and expression to see whether reading is becoming smooth and automatic.

Take test

Comprehension Tool

Measure how well the child understands, remembers, and responds to what they read.
