Unlocking English Proficiency in Diverse, Multilingual Schools

English Language interventions in a multilingual school.

Looking at English language instruction through the lens of multilingualism allows us to welcome the whole child, including their linguistic and cultural practices.

English language instruction should be seen to extend and enhance students’ current linguistic abilities and not replace them.

A wholistic English language instructional curriculum, to support all students, should include:

  • A whole school approach to explicit English vocabulary instruction followed by all teachers in all subjects.
  • Age appropriate diagnostic and targeted phonics withdrawal intervention that highlights the specific gaps and provides strategies and resources to close them.
  • Timely, fun and progressive fluency and vocabulary intervention programme to develop automaticity and comprehension as an outcome of vocabulary independence.
  • Trained, confident, fully resourced teachers and learning facilitators.

How does Lexonik support a multilingual school?

Lexonik provides face-to-face evidenced literacy interventions and whole-class instruction to support all learners. Our highly accomplished team of reading experts train your staff and ensure fidelity via initial in-depth teacher training and continuous quality assurance and delivery support.


Lexonik Leap

Lexonik Leap is a diagnostic-led phonics intervention programme, that diagnoses gaps in phonics and closes them through specific instruction, all of which are tracked via the Leap diagnostic assessment app.

Any learner with a standardised score of less than 85 is a perfect candidate for Lexonik Leap.

Lexonik Leap supports all learners and has proven results in developing EAL learners. Designed specifically with older learners in mind, Lexonik Leap does not patronise or feel repetitive due to its pace, challenge and diagnostic nature.

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.

Phonics is an essential pillar of reading and the foundation for further literacy development. If you have learners struggling with phonics, these issues need to be addressed before any others. Lexonik Leap can help you do just that with our fast-acting, hassle-free and flexible phonics intervention.

Lexonik Advance

Lexonik Advance is our flagship intervention, that improves reading ages by an average of 27 months in just six one-hour sessions.

Lexonik Advance is fully resourced and targeted for students with a standardised reading score of 85–115. Independently reviewed by Northumbria University and The National Literacy Trust, Lexonik Advance has been proven to make immediate, significant, and sustainable progress for learners.

Advance is the perfect programme for developing reading fluency in your learners. It does this by focusing on the individual skills that contribute to reading as a whole. Lexonik Advance leverages metacognition and phased repetition to develop:

  • Automaticity
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
  • Spelling
  • Comprehension
  • Independence

Lexonik Vocabulary Plus

Lexonik Vocabulary Plus is a comprehensive package designed to enhance literacy across the curriculum. At its core is the Lexonik Vocabulary tool, an online morphemic analysis machine that provides the only tool you’ll ever need to consistently teach vocabulary. This powerful tool offers applications that span the entire curriculum, making it an invaluable asset for whole-school literacy.

This vital resource enables teachers and institutions to implement a holistic approach to the teaching of literacy, regardless of what subject they teach. It facilitates the explicit teaching of vocabulary, based on the same proven methodology as our flagship Lexonik Advance intervention programme, making it the ideal supplementary resource to reduce teacher variability and ensure sustainability.

Included in Vocabulary Plus is an ever-evolving catalogue of video masterclasses for professional development. These masterclasses cover a wide range of topics related to reading and literacy, providing ongoing support for teachers as they implement literacy strategies across the curriculum.
