LexonikLexonik’s literacy programmes give teachers and students the skills to make rapid and sustained improvements in reading, phonics and vocabulary; securing the foundations of learning for any age of learner.
What do they do?
Lexonik produces a range of Literacy intervention programmes, one of them being Lexonik Advance. Lexonik describes it as: “Lexonik Advance is our flagship reading intervention. It raises students’ reading age by 27 months on average in just 6 weeks - the gains are evidenced by Northumbria University and recently the NLT (see below for the link to Lexonik’s website and the full report). https://lexonik.co.uk/independent-impact-evaluation-studies It is delivered through 1-hour sessions over six weeks and is a face to face, fully resourced, targeted, teacher-led intervention for students with a standardised score of 85-115. It develops metacognition, automaticity and fluency, and teaches a methodology whereby students can decode and access vocabulary at point of need, allowing them to become fluent readers and ultimately able to comprehend. It builds student confidence and has a positive impact on pedagogy. It helps us towards our mission which is that everyone should be able to read.”
