Schools & Colleges
We train your staff to competently deliver our literacy intervention programmes. Teachers will gain the knowledge and tools to teach vital literacy skills, whilst closing the attainment gap and ensuring every student is realising their full potential.
We understand the importance of literacy. With the literacy demands of the curriculum being greater than ever, it’s essential that students are equipped to deal with the reading and vocabulary requirements of the classroom and the exam system.
Lexonik’s refreshing approach champions the ‘whole school’ model, staying focused on sustainable long-term impact.
So, whilst we know discrete interventions have their place in teaching, we go much further, creating a transformation in teacher pedagogy.
We have a range of products designed as a result of many years of active research.
This portfolio of literacy intervention programmes and teacher training delivers effective, consistent solutions, supporting students from age 8 to 80 in accessing the curriculum’s reading, comprehension and vocabulary demands, leading to automaticity and independence.
Check out our case study with Alderbrook School to see how well our programmes work in schools.
Our flagship literacy intervention programme, Lexonik Advance, boasts an average reading age gain of 27 months in just six weeks.
