Reading the way to better wellbeing

The National Literacy Trust report that children who are most engaged with literacy have better wellbeing than their peers. They also report that the children who are the most engaged with Literacy are three times more likely to have higher levels of mental wellbeing than those who are the least engaged. So, how can we improve attitudes to reading, in turn hopefully having an impact on our children’s mental wellbeing?

Is it time to stop the swipe and focus on reading stamina?

Technology during remote learning saved us. It meant we could continue to deliver education to pupils across the UK. But that has come at a price, says Cathy Prole, deputy head at St Michael’s C of E Primary School, in her recent article with Teach Primary. Now children are back in the classroom we need to refocus on sustained reading.

Frequently Asked Questions...

What if a pupil does not have English as a first language?

Our assessment can offer a fresh perspective when it comes to assessing pupils with English as an additional language. With powerful algorithms, able to provide fully objective results, we can offer the same exciting insight into reading regardless of children’s different backgrounds and situations.

 ” We want to root out any reading difficulties as soon as we can so we can help pupils make progress. Lexplore Analytics provides us with a completely unbiased way to assess our children “

How do teachers become certified examiners?

As a Lexplore Customer, we will visit your school or organisation to carry out the theoretical and practical Training needed for your staff members to test children independently. The technology and method is extremely simple to set up and understand meaning the training process is usually completed in one or two days.

How do eye movements reflect reading attainment?

Reading involves a complicated interplay between many different cognitive and linguistic processes. Measuring when, where, and how a child’s eyes move in relation to the words they read allows us to quickly evaluate how effectively these processes work together and pick up on minor differences in the way they process text.

 “Eye movements is one of the best ways to index reading ability at an incredibly in-depth level.” 

Julie Kirkby – Professor in Psychology at Bournemouth University

Our Eye tracking assessment has been developed following over 30 years of peer-reviewed research at one of the leading medical institutes in the world into the unique insight eye movements can offer us into reading.

How long does the Lexplore assessment take?

We estimate that the assessment takes between two and five minutes per pupil, depending upon their reading speed. This enables schools to quickly assess a large number of pupils without additional workload. The results are available immediately in our user-friendly portal with no marking required.

 ” One of the main reasons we chose Lexplore is because it frees up so much time. Previously, it took teachers an entire term to do accurate assessments on their whole class. By contrast, 200 children went through the Lexplore assessment process in a week. Within five minutes of each assessment, we had the results of their reading activity and an accurate attainment level.” 

Adam Luxford – Freemantle Community Academy
