iDeaL Learning Approach

Welcome to the iDeaL Learning Approach

The iDeaL approach is an evidence based, structured literacy learning platform for educators, teachers and school based specialists and parents. Suitable for ALL students including those with dyslexia, iDeaL has been founded on the principles of the internationally recognised Orton Gillingham approach. iDeaL includes professional learning modules at each user level, assessments that build awareness, understanding and empathy, and identifies next steps for teaching and learning. The teaching resources provided are fun, interactive, multi sensory, systematic and cumulative. The degree of complexity and delivery of the iDeaL approach varies between users and their purpose.

What People say about us

"I feel so very positive about the direction our school is moving in to support students with literacy struggles. You are so very inspiring and you have set me up in a direction that makes absolute sense and gives a tremendous amount of purpose."

'Thank you so much this course is just what I have been looking for to give me an overview for my children. I came away feeling much more confident and positive that I could support Lillie and Liam in their learning at home. I have started to implement some of my learning on to them.' 'Loved the Power to the Parents workshop. I would be keen to attend other workshops for parents especially to do with maths. I think your team is amazing and doing a fantastic job.' 'So glad to have been able to attend this workshop. I found it interesting and took home a lot of great ideas and information as well. I learnt something - which was really cool. Learning Matters is doing such a great job.'

As a new entrant / reception class teacher, This is amazing. What a difference it makes to actually be able to gather baseline data on five year olds, and then be actually able to implement your findings into explicit classroom practise. This LSA has filled a gap that the SEA entry never has or could. It is so valuable , simple to use and so incredibly relevant. If you haven’t seen it or tried it you need to.
