Our award-winning software is used by thousands of schools worldwide helping to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of learners. Our\u00a0free educational resources include our free dyslexia tool\u00a0IDL Literacy Screener<\/a>\u00a0and our\u00a0Numeracy Screener<\/a>Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)<\/a> and Animated Maths Tutorials<\/a>. Our learning tools are designed to help monitor the progress of learners and encourage individually tailored learning to meet the specific needs of pupils.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more all these resources are completely free for all schools with no licence needed and they are\u00a0available on any internet-connected device. Find out more about\u00a0our library of free resources<\/a> from IDL below:<\/p>\n

Literacy Screener<\/h3>\n

Our IDL Literacy Screener<\/a> is a free dyslexia screener\u00a0that is designed to highlight specific dyslexic type<\/a> difficulties. Available as an online tool the Literacy Screener<\/a> incorporates a 30-minute test to screen pupils aged eight and older. Suitable for individual use or as part of group work it\u2019s an ideal resource if you\u2019re looking to identify issues with literacy progression.<\/p>\n

The Literacy Screener<\/a> looks to identify core skills essential for understanding written words and spoken language. It looks at the following areas:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Auditory processing<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visual processing<\/p>\n

\u2022 Short-term memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Speed of processing<\/p>\n

\u2022 Organising and sequencing<\/p>\n

If any of the pupils have a noticeable deficiency in any of these areas it might indicate some form of learning difficulty such as dyslexia<\/a>. The Literacy Screener<\/a> breaks the test down into 11 tasks with each task geared toward making accurate assessments of student literacy. These tasks include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Names of letters<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sounds of letters<\/p>\n

\u2022 Find the vowels<\/p>\n

\u2022 Known sequences<\/p>\n

\u2022 Auditory memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sound blending<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sound discrimination<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visual discrimination<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sound discrimination with visual memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Alphabetic ordering<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spelling<\/p>\n

There are no time constraints for the Literacy Screener<\/a> giving pupils all the time they need to complete the tasks. For questions that don\u2019t focus on short-term memory students can repeat the questions to ensure they have ample opportunity to respond.<\/p>\n

Numeracy Screener<\/h3>\n

The IDL Numeracy Screener<\/a>\u00a0is a multi-sensory test designed with understandable audio and visual instructions to make them child friendly and accessible. The Numeracy Screener<\/a> focuses solely on numeracy abilities so other factors such as literacy ability won\u2019t impact the outcomes or results of the tests.<\/p>\n

We make sure that our IDL Numeracy Screener<\/a> is standardised ensuring that the results are accurate and reliable so that they can be used to guide decision-making for learning outcomes. The test creates percentage-based scores in the following areas:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reaction time<\/p>\n

\u2022 Number sense<\/p>\n

\u2022 Number value<\/p>\n

\u2022 Arithmetic<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visual memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Auditory memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visual pattern memory<\/p>\n

\u2022 Number Stroop<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sequencing<\/p>\n

Multiplication Tables Check<\/h3>\n

The IDL Multiplication Tables Check<\/a> is an excellent resource offering free times table practise for schools. The tests increase in difficulty as pupils progress and incorporate a blend of times tables that require higher pass marks for each level. By the end of the module pupils conduct reviews to determine their level of knowledge of the times tables.<\/p>\n

Learners work their way through four modules with seven lessons per module and a test. These modules assess learners on their understanding of multiplication in a certain area which increases in difficulty as they progress. The curriculum runs through the multiplication table in the following order:<\/p>\n

Level 1 \u2013 1-2-5 10<\/p>\n

Level 2 \u2013 3 4 11<\/p>\n

Level 3 \u2013 6 7 8<\/p>\n

Level 4 \u2013 9 12<\/p>\n

Later lessons incorporate a blend of multiplication tables and their order of appearance requiring higher pass marks. Once a module is completed learners review their understanding of the multiplication table.<\/p>\n

Practice Test MTC<\/h4>\n

The Practice Test closely aligns with the actual MTC test<\/a>. It uses a similar user interface to the real MTC to help build the learners\u2019 confidence and prepare them for testing situations. There is a six second window for every question asked and the testing covers the 2-12 multiplication tables.<\/p>\n

Practice Test Modern<\/h4>\n

The Practice Test Mode is an MTC test<\/a> model that uses the same setup as before but it includes the option to customise questions. This allows teachers to adjust the questions to improve specific learning outcomes. It\u2019s designed to work as a useful tool to target any weak points in learning for classrooms.<\/p>\n

Animated Maths Tutorials<\/h3>\n

Our IDL Animated Maths Tutorials<\/a> focus on online maths principles. They break down the main topics found in the school curriculum in an easy-to-understand iterative way. Pupils learn from a series of short animated video clips that engage with young learners and explain the key concepts around maths lessons and how to apply them effectively.<\/p>\n

The Animated Maths Tutorials<\/a> cover topics including addition, subtraction multiplication and division. All the tutorials include a worksheet and accompanying quiz which is automatically marked and graded.<\/p>\n

These engaging tutorials work as either in-class learning resources or tools for pupils to use at home. They are an excellent all-purpose resource but are especially useful for children who are struggling with their numeracy skills acting as both a learning and revision tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
