ALL children made at least double rate of progress

“The headline from us is that ALL children made at least double rate of progress.

Feedback from the children was largely positive. 'I liked it, it was fun' They liked whack the alien, 'I like playing the real game at the fair' 'I liked how fun it was to get the alien'.”

Average Improvement: 16 months

The Best Resource I have seen in many years

“This is certainly the best resource I have seen in many years. The combination of eye-tracking and phonological assessment gives an informative assessment profile for teachers and parents. Eye-tracking is often an 'invisible barrier' to reading progress.

The Literacy Gold package is the single most important and effective program we run at school and it has become an integral part of a re-designed reading recovery program. I endorse this program fully and enthusiastically.”

Great success with these programs

“I have never found another programme that replicates what we would do in a specialist 1:1 intervention. This does. It's fun but very targeted.

Engaging Eyes has made such a difference to our learners with a visual difficulty. Fluency Builder support phonological awareness and Spelling Tutor provides overlearning of keywords in a meaningful context.

For children who do not need a specialist lesson this can be the difference between struggling and making good progress. For those who need a specialist lesson the programmes back up what we do and gives more regular practice. Thoroughly recommended.”

Significantly Improves Attainment

“Literacy Gold is like nothing I have used before and has shown vast improvements with a variety of age groups. With some children the age gap had hugely reduced, one child by 62 months in only two terms. Quite amazing! The children are more willing to read aloud, often asking to do so, and their class teachers and parents have all commented how they have seen their confidence grow in all areas of school work.”

Produces Strong Results

“We have been using Literacy Gold since September 2023.  We deliver it as a breakfast booster session 3 times a week for pupils in years 4-6.  It is often difficult to entice pupils in our school to do additional learning outside school hours, however the children love coming to this session.

They feel proud when they achieve and are rewarded by certificates generated by the programme.  They enjoy wearing their glasses and one pupil, who is a reluctant reader, reported that we were "tricking him into enjoying reading".  They love wearing the glasses and feel like it's a game.

It's easy to deliver as it only requires a minimal amount of adult input and produces strong results.  We have now had 20 pupils attend the booster and only one child did not make accelerated progress, with most pupils making an average of 1 years progress in 6 months.  One pupil made five years progress in 1 year!  We are now planning to roll it out to more pupils across the school as interventions throughout the day.”
