Review of Giglets
Feb 2022
Giglets has been really useful particularly for our SEND and EAL pupils who have found it more difficult to engage either with texts that are not in their own language, or have SPLD and found the text types and vocabulary in a number of books difficult to access. The fact the books are on line is an added bonus for a number of our reluctant boys!

Jo Marchant found Giglets:
- Significantly saves school money“Having an online resource of multicultural texts has been a huge saving in terms of not having to buy individual texts in a multitude of languages.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Previously teachers would have to try and find our dual language texts around the school, borrowing from each others classrooms”
- Slightly reduces attainment gap“Too soon to tell”
- Moderately improves parent engagement“Our EAL parents have really enjoyed engaging with texts in their own language and some are reading more with their children.”
- Slightly improves attainment“Too soon to say”
