Literacy Plus

Literacy Plus is an intervention scheme targeted at pupils in year 7 who arrive at secondary school on level 3.  These pupils will be given two lessons a week of literacy teaching in addition to their English lessons.  Ideally the classes are smaller than average and are taught by an English teacher and a TA.  A range of resources and advice are available at the link below.

Five schools in Cambridgeshire will be piloting the scheme from September 2009.  Contact the English consultants if you would like to discuss it further.
