Lexonik Leap
Lexonik Leap effectively resolves phonics gaps for learners who find literacy particularly challenging and those for whom English is not their first language, rapidly progressing reading, spelling and oracy.
Based on an initial diagnostic assessment, the programme can be adapted to allow for an individualised learning pathway, meaning the duration of the programme is dictated by the level of need. Because of this it's perfect for older or English as an additional language (EAL) learners as well as young learners.
Lexonik Leap as a literacy programme can be delivered 1:1, but is best as a small group intervention.
Ideal for learners with a standardised score of less than 85 or the EAL learner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Created with an older learner in mind, Leap is suitable for those who find reading particularly challenging and for those who speak English as an additional language.
We recommend anyone with a standardised score of 85 and below should undergo the Lexonik Leap diagnostic assessment to identify and then close any gaps in their phonics.
Yes! Lexonik Leap is designed with the older learner in mind. The resources are not babyish or patronising and are suitable for secondary school age students and adults.
Any adult can be trained to deliver Lexonik’s literacy intervention programmes including, but not limited to, TAs, HLTAs, librarians and classroom teachers from across subjects and key stages.
The key is their timetable flexibility and willingness to facilitate the teaching of reading and deliver the programme with fidelity.
No. Lexonik Leap is a personalised pathway.
Learners undergo a diagnostic assessment to identify their gaps, and then only participate in the activities needed to fill those gaps.
Staff are trained to not only deliver the diagnostic assessment, but to assess groupings to ensure all learner needs are met.
Definitely, but we recommend leaving a gap to solidify the learning from Lexonik Leap before starting Lexonik Advance.
Any learner with a standardised score of less than 85 would benefit from taking part in the Lexonik Leap diagnostic assessment. This will highlight where learning gaps are and which activities will be required to close those gaps.
Lexonik Leap is also ideal for EAL learners.
Using the Lexonik Leap diagnostic assessment, your Regional Trainer will demonstrate how it can be used to track and monitor learner progress.
Little and often. Lexonik Leap is best delivered in frequent, 15-20 minute sessions, three times a week.
A real benefit of Lexonik Leap is the adaptive nature of delivery based on the diagnostic assessment.
The initial diagnostic assessment enables a bespoke and tailored programme which fills the gaps that previous reading interventions haven’t. Trainers use the diagnostic assessment to review progress throughout each activity and we advise an in-depth review at 6 weeks.
Wherever possible, groups should be organised by learners of a similar ability.
There should never be more than 4 learners in a group. EAL learners may benefit from a 1:2 teacher/learner ratio. We do not advocate 1:1 intervention.
Mixed gender sessions are found to work well but we appreciate this is not always possible.
A rolling timetable should be implemented to ensure that students don’t miss the same lessons each week.
