Topics are matched to the National Curriculum

Our topics line up with the stage at which learners will likely encounter them in class. We explore the Vikings in Block 4 and the Solar System in Block 5, lining up with when they are explored at Key Stage 2.

Explicitly teach literacy knowledge that is crucial for success

Teach essential elements of language comprehension directly

Proven to have a statistically significant impact on learners’ vocabulary, Bedrock improves elements of language and grammar that are crucial to reading comprehension and communication.

Learners can progress at their own pace

The language, concepts and topics that learners study get progressively more challenging, decided by previous performance, to ensure continual development for learners.

Revisit prior knowledge and progressively build upon it

Bedrock’s reteaching algorithm ensures newly acquired knowledge is re-served to each learner, encouraging retrieval practice which is a crucial step in long term retention.

Learners can map the language they need across every subject

Mapper highlights where words appear in multiple subjects and how meaning is different in certain disciplines. For instance, ‘evaluate’ has a slightly different focus in Art, compared to in Maths.

Learners will read a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts

The first stage of every lesson on Bedrock Vocabulary begins with an aspirational and challenging piece of reading. Human Narration helps to engage and support weaker readers.
