ALP Leicester

Learner A’s reading journey was severely impacted by dyslexia, causing difficulties in decoding and fluency that limited their engagement with reading. Since beginning Literacy Gold, Learner A has benefited from its structured, multi-sensory approach and targeted phonics practice. Over this academic year, their reading age has advanced by 8 months, and they now approach reading with enthusiasm rather than frustration. This progress has boosted their overall confidence and willingness to participate in lessons.

Learner B struggled with comprehension and retention, which affected both academic work and self-esteem. Literacy Gold’s focused vocabulary and comprehension modules have given Learner B the tools to break down texts more effectively. As a result, Learner B has shown significant improvements in understanding and summarising texts, with a 10-months increase in reading age within this academic year. This progress has been reflected in their improved classroom engagement and independent reading habits.
