This project explored how effective a linguistics phonics literacy intervention would be at improving the spelling and reading of Entry Level 2 learners online.

What is this about and what were the main findings: 

This project trialled the use of That Reading Thing (Millar, 2020), an intervention for teens and adults, in one-to-one sessions with Entry Level 2 Literacy learners - including those with dyslexia - during the COVID-19 pandemic, both online and face to face. The project reported that it demonstrated that adults with reading and spelling challenges had made more progress using this approach than would normally have been expected in a group class context.
