What IDL Literacy is

IDL Literacy is a multisensory literacy intervention for pupils with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. Its speaking-computer lessons cover reading from phonological awareness to fluency, as well as spelling, touch-typing, vocabulary, and comprehension. Activities combine sight, sound, touch, and voice, with gamified elements. Teachers can review progress reports to identify areas where pupils are struggling. IDL says pupils can work independently or with minimal supervision, and presents the program for primary and secondary pupils, both for targeted dyslexia intervention and wider school literacy support. Pupils can use it at school or home on a computer or tablet, with progress stored in the cloud so they can resume where they left off. Browser access is through Chrome on a computer or laptop; separate free apps are available for Android tablets and iPads. A standalone school licence includes the Literacy Screener. IDL also describes technical support, customer service, and complimentary staff training throughout the year.
