Nationally Approved, Top Literacy Interventions

Not every intervention that you come across has been researched, so it is good to check that there is evidence that your money will be money well spent to support targeted learning and teaching for the child.

It is important that we are clear on why an intervention is required and what means of measuring progress you can use.

There are a few things that we should think about before buying an intervention:

• Are we clear on why an intervention is required and what means of measuring progress you can use?
• Is the intervention taking the place of quality adult/child experiences and instructions.
• Does the intervention provide repeated opportunities for over-learning, and applying new skills to other contexts?
• Is there a multi-sensory component to the intervention?
• Is the intervention a tool that the teacher can use to help support the child, rather than a tool that releases the teacher to be able to do something else?
• Are we able to use the intervention in the way that it was created to be used?  If not, you are unlikely to reap the expected outcomes.

We now have a new tab on Sharepoint where you will be able to see a variety of Commercially produced literacy interventions as well as our Highland Council ones.
