The Literacy Intervention Toolkit (LIT) is an extraordinarily effective teaching programme. It employs evidence based strategies proven to increase progress in English and the wider curriculum for the lowest achieving students in year 7, with most making an astonishing 3-4 years of progress in a single year. 


The programme’s unique and highly collaborative method of reciprocal teaching enables students to check that they understand the content of what they are reading, make inferences based on what they have read and improve their extended writing skills.
