⭐Did you know this about the IDL Literacy distribution chart?In the IDL Literacy programme, raw scores from the reading and spelling tests are used to generate a standard score based on the pupil’s year group.The standard scores displayed on the distribution chart show pupil performance relative to their peers. For example, if a child obtains a standard score of 100, they would be considered ‘average’, or performing at the same level as the majority of their peers. 📊Find out more here 👉 https://idlsgroup.com/our-products/literacy/#Dyslexia #Literacy #LiteracySupport #Teachersupport
