Literacy Junction Multi-sensory Reading and Writing Intervention Programme

Literacy Junction® Digital is an online training programme, providing adults with a comprehensive set of materials to deliver a multi-sensory reading and writing programme for any student, regardless of age, who have not yet reached Year 3 age-related expectations.

About Literacy Junction

Literacy Junction combines the component elements that are required to become a fluent reader, accelerates gains in decoding, sight words to fluency, comprehension and integrates reading strategies.

It provides component elements that are the foundations for basic writing including supported sentence construction, the composition of simple and more complex sentences as well as integrating writing strategies.

Research based

The programme has been developed from research-based practice with a proven impact on progress for reading and writing, with average gains of 16.5 months*

Digital resources for adults to train with and customisable resources for students

The programme has been designed to be an accessible and positive experience for all involved. Comprehensive packs for adults including assessment materials as well as student resources that can be customised with a choice of characters designed to be motivational and link in with literacy learning. These include video and downloadable resources so that users can view and use the materials as and when they need to.

SEND Station and Empowering Tech

SEND Station has partnered with local authorities to successfully pilot their multi-sensory Reading and Writing intervention, Literacy Junction and are excited to working with Empowering Tech for this digital version for schools. Partnered with assistive technology such as Scanning Pen’s C Pen this intervention is a powerful intervention.

How does Literacy Junction work?

The programme begins with a thorough assessment of the pupil's reading and writing and is delivered via a daily 20-minute intervention. These daily sessions consist of two parts, Reading and Writing.

These can be delivered in a one 20-minute session or separate 10-minute sessions to suit the pupil and /or the setting. The person trained to deliver Literacy Junction should be the same person who carries out the assessment and delivers the programme.

Why is Literacy Junction so effective for pupils with additional needs?

Literacy Junction is rooted in research-based strategies that SEND Station has expertise and experience in developing and delivering; including Alphabet Arc and Precision Teaching.

These strategies support both Reading and Writing. The intervention provides a multi-sensory structured approach that compliments phonics teaching and better supports pupils who may struggle with a purely phonics-based approach.

We want you and your children to be successful, every success, is our success too!

What teachers are saying about Literacy Junction

‘I provided my student with a picture of a crocodile as a hook for the next day’s writing session, he came back with ideas for a story about Mr Ripperton the Crocodile – the child was so engrossed he didn’t want the session to end.’

‘Building the one-to-one relationships are so important for confidence building. Once the routines are established the fluency and conversation start flying. Our children are so enthusiastic and happy to attend Literacy Junction sessions.’

‘The training enables you to make a very thorough assessment. It provides you with excellent information that helps you to create your planning and make bespoke interventions to support individual progress. Importantly, it helps you to see the children’s strengths which you might not see in day-to-day teaching.’

‘Checking high frequency words is important but Literacy Junction provides a systematic approach that builds on what the child knows.  Children start with confidence from a secure starting point and they quickly build on success that they have established. It is a supporting framework that enables them to conquer tricky words.’

‘Following Mrs Davies training on Literacy Junction and the success of our pilot studies, we appointed her to a full time roll of providing Literacy Junction as our primary intervention strategy.’

‘The short and intentional sessions produce rapid progress, and we quickly see link between reading success and improved self-esteem.’
