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.
Carla Thom found Dyslexia Gold:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“When used in Y4-Y6, all children improved their spelling ages, some from 5 years to over 12 years in 1 academic year and during lockdown.”
- Moderately improves school processes“Children can access the activities independently at school or at home with teachers monitoring progress and setting assessments online.”
- Significantly improves attainment“The improvement in reading and spelling ages by the end of the year was huge in those children with SEND and with lower attainment.”
