Assessed, Identified. Now What?

By now, you may have assessed and identified the generic needs of your students:

  • Wave 1 (Green / SS 110+): Quality first teaching needed.
  • Wave 2 (Amber / SS 85–110): Additional interventions needed.
  • Wave 3 (Red / SS 85 and below): Additional highly personalised interventions needed.

Does this model sound familiar? But what now? How will you intervene? Through what method?

The "Golden Thread," Not a "Bolt-On"

Like never before, the golden thread of all curriculum should be the explicit teaching of reading and vocabulary, replicated whole-school.

We all know the impact of poor reading is seen across all subjects. GL Assessment recently identified that, nationally, 25% of 15-year-olds have a reading age of 12 or below.

Those figures alone are enough to confirm that it’s time we stopped seeing literacy as a ‘bolt-on’.

A Transformational, Evidence-Based Approach

What if we’d done the work to ensure your literacy improvement strategy really was ‘taken care of’? What if we had the manual to grant teachers the implicit knowledge to teach vocabulary and reading with dramatic speed?

We do.

We’ve poured a decade of experience from Lexonik Advance—our flagship intervention programme with a 27-month average reading age gain in just 6 hours—into our whole-school, cloud-based resource, Wordology.

Wordology goes beyond the rhetoric to up-skill classroom teaching practice and develop a systematic approach to support every learner, in every classroom (Wave 1).

The most unique area of Wordology is that it uses the same methodology as our flagship Lexonik Advance intervention. This morphemic analysis allows vocabulary to be explicitly taught, lessens teacher variability, and ensures a sustainable, whole-school approach.

To reverse the reading deficit, talk is not enough. Leaders need to be brave and bold.

You Have the "What." We Have the "How."

You've done the assessment and identification. We provide the "Now What."

We’re committed to a transformational approach that helps your students get the future they deserve. Start with our Wave 2/3 interventions and embed the methodology in Wave 1 with our whole-school vocabulary solution.
