Vocabulary is V.I.T.A.L.

Language is at the heart of education. It opens the door to a world full of new ideas, insights and feelings. But children with limited vocabularies may feel left behind, with limited access to literacy and learning.   

Our Vocabulary is V.I.T.A.L. approach will help you to embed a clear and engaging approach to vocabulary building. With an extensive suite of resources, in-school support, and staff training, we can work with your school to diminish a subtle and yet significant barrier to learning.  

We also offer schools the opportunity to take part in exciting research projects, making a real difference to the lives of children across their community and beyond.

The Reading Gems Approach to the Teaching of Reading

We know how important a love for reading is to ensure children achieve their potential and this is at the heart of our reading approach.

Working alongside staff to choose appropriate texts; embed reading skill-specific subject knowledge; and deliver meaningful assessments, our experts will support you to enhance your reading practice and provision, creating better outcomes for all of your pupils, in line with DfE expectations. 

Our Reading Gems approach breaks down the larger goal of reading into a series of smaller steps for all children to learn and work towards. With high quality content, plans and strategies, pupils can approach reading with a new sense of purpose, enthusiasm and achievement.  

Catering to the needs of the whole class as well as small groups and individuals, we will help your pupils achieve their next milestone in reading for EYFS, KS1, 2 and 3, and become lifelong readers.

Developing Writing Through P.I.C.C. a Text

 

Blending together the technical and creative aspects of writing, our P.I.C.C a Text approach uses high quality texts as the foundation for learning, giving pupils the inspiration to write with purpose and imagination.  

Our sequence guides staff through every step of the writing process: 

  • Determining the Reason, Audience, Features and Tone (RAFT) of their outcome 
  • Choosing quality texts 
  • Prediction and interrogation of the text 
  • Capturing ideas 
  • Creating, writing and editing the final outcome  

 

With the interplay between reading, writing and spoken language at the heart of our strategy, you can equip your pupils with the tools they need to become competent real-life writers.
