Teaching Children to Read Around the World
Beyond Australia, Get Reading Right is used in over 700 schools across 30 countries on six continents — including 650+ government schools in Fiji and 100+ international schools from Hong Kong to London.
Where We Work
Asia-Pacific
Hong Kong is our largest international market, with over 60 schools using Get Reading Right — from leading international schools like the Canadian International School, German Swiss International School and Yew Chung International to local English-medium primary schools. We also work with schools in China, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and New Zealand.
United Kingdom & Europe
Over 40 schools in the UK use Get Reading Right — the birthplace of synthetic phonics, where the approach has been mandatory in state schools since 2007. Beyond the UK, schools in Spain, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Lithuania and other European countries use our materials in international schools and English-language programs.
Americas, Middle East & Africa
From the United States and Canada to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel, and as far as Peru, Brazil and Argentina — Get Reading Right has found its way into classrooms on every continent. Wherever there are children learning to read in English, our resources can help.
Transforming a Nation: Fiji
Our most ambitious international partnership is with the Fiji Ministry of Education, where Get Reading Right is being used across more than 650 government primary schools — the vast majority of the country’s primary school system — as part of a national literacy improvement strategy.
Why It Works Internationally
Synthetic phonics is particularly effective in multilingual settings. Students don’t need to already speak fluent English to begin — the structured, sound-by-sound approach builds reading skills from the ground up. Our resources give teachers a clear, step-by-step program that works regardless of the students’ home language or the teacher’s level of phonics expertise.
