Welcome to the iDeaL School Approach

The iDeaL approach aims to draw your attention to the importance of what sits below reading fluency. Reading is the most researched aspect of education internationally. Research studies indicate the importance of the development of teacher knowledge and practice principles in the identified five elements of Structured Literacy. These being phonological awareness, alphabetic principle, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The iDeaL Approach aims to support teachers, SENCOs, RTLBs, RTLits, LSCs and School Leaders to build consistent and aligned evidence-based pedagogy in their settings.
