IDL Literacy and Numeracy

IDL Literacy is a cloud based intervention software, specifically designed to help improve the reading and spelling ability of those with dyslexia and dyslexic tendencies. 

Many schools have also reported the benefit of using IDL with those who: are autistic, have visual differences, are EAL learners or struggling with reading and spelling in general.  The program consists of over 1 000 lessons, which provide structured, sequential learning with a multi-sensory approach.  Over 2 500 schools currently use our software nationally, and we recently scooped the NASEN Award for ‘Most Effective Resource/Technology’.

To complement the literacy program, we launched IDL Numeracy in September 2018, created to help pupils who find Maths difficult.  It uses a similar methodology to IDL Literacy, and is mapped to the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum.
