Compare Dyslexia Gold vs Junior Language Link

Carla Thom, Head of School: Spelling Tutor (part of Dyslexia Gold) has really made a huge impact on our spelling results and we have rolled it out across the whole school now, regardless of ability or SEND status. It now forms an integral part of our day for regular spelling and reading repeated practice. It uses spaced repetition to focus on what words individuals needs to learn sequentially. It caters for all learners, including spelling words from Y5/6 NC lists.

Eileen Maceachern, SENCO: Dyslexia Gold is cost-effective, easy to set up and simple for children to use. Our children particularly enjoyed playing Engaging Eyes.

Sue Wells, Specialist teacher: The high frequency words cover a good deal of the national curriculum and therefore go a long way to improving a child's day to day spelling in their written work - this in turn improves their confidence, which is important

Ruth Campbell, Inclusion Manager: It is a useful tool to help understand barriers to learning caused by language needs, or sometimes merely to rule out that language difficulties might be an issue. It is also useful in measuring progress in the area of language development.

Wendy, Assistant SENDCo: I like that planning is done but for KS2 it can be a bit dull. The assessment is far too long but comprehensive. Year 6 sessions were fantastic. The investigation at Morley Manor went down really well. The children were talking about the crime outside of the intervention and couldn't wait for their session each week. This was a well planned, exciting and effective program

Clare Hollingsworth, senco: not all my friends can afford it
