Literacy Gold
An online reading intervention that teaches pupils how to break words into sounds, reinforces sound-symbol correspondence, and allows pupils to record and listen to their reading to improve fluency and confidence.
Literacy Gold Trial
Schools were asked to identify pupils who were significantly behind in reading. Pupils were eligible to participate in the trial if their reading age was at least 12 months behind their chronological age.
Throughout the trial period, pupils engaged with the programs independently, requiring minimal supervision from teaching staff. Pupils played the programs for 25 minutes, 3-5 times a week.
Reading age was tested at the beginning and end of the trial. Read the results here.
