Collectively Diverse- A Holistic Approach with IDL Wellbeing

After trialling the IDL literacy and numeracy software in various ways to support children with their education, our newest addition- IDL Wellbeing- caught their attention.

IDL Wellbeing adopts an integrated approach to support children, aged 7 -13, to understand and address unwelcome emotions as well as encourage positive ones. What’s more, it integrates seamlessly with academic development, creating a truly holistic approach to learning and personal growth.

Liz Day at Collectively Diverse talks about how our IDL Wellbeing programme caught their attention. “It’s deep professional and personal interest in mental health, particularly among young people, aligns perfectly with our wider goals.”

A Remarkable 9-Year-Old-Learner

One of the most rewarding aspects of using IDL has been witnessing its impact on the children we work with. We’d like to share the story of one particularly inspiring learner.

This 9-year-old boy is a bright and articulate child whose oral communication skills surpass his written output. However, dyslexia traits have presented challenges in reading and spelling, which in turn have affected his confidence and progress.

Since starting IDL Literacy and IDL Wellbeing, both at home and during weekly tutoring sessions, his progress has been remarkable. Over three months, his reading age increased by 22 months, and his spelling age improved by 8 months. The positive effects have extended far beyond the numbers:

Improved confidence when tackling reading tasks. A standout moment for the family came when they watched a foreign film together – for the first time, he was able to keep up with the subtitles independently.
The auditory feedback loop feature proved invaluable in building fluency and confidence. By listening to his own voice, he can self-correct and internalise the correct pronunciation and rhythm of words.
Reinforced learning as well as fostering a sense of accomplishment, which was crucial for maintaining motivation.
