Transforming Lives at Harrop Fold School with IDL Literacy
Featured in the TV show Educating Greater Manchester, Harrop Fold School is dedicated to supporting every student’s learning journey. In this powerful testimonial, the school shares how IDL Literacy has made a real difference for students with dyslexia—improving not just their reading and writing skills, but also boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
IDL in the Classroom
“As soon as we rolled the system out with the students, we could tell that they really liked it, they really engaged with it. They love the speaking and the listening back to themselves. It all seemed to key into the things they found really helpful and useful.
Our parents really like the fact that they can have a log on, they can encourage and help their child to access the program at home, knowing they’ve got the backup that they’ve had some additional support knowing they are able to put that to use in lessons and that their readings really improved.”
Miranda Rathmell, Harrop Fold School
“IDL is self-led so pupils are able to work independently which is nice rather than the teacher having to constantly give input. You do get the satisfaction and what’s why I’m the job, to see the young people grow and make the progress.”
Sally Austin, Harrop Fold School
