Specifically, this will include:
Releasing at least one TA from their normal duties to receive training, deliver the programme, and to take part in focus groups.
Working with our team to send appropriate information materials to parents.
Allowing time for pupils in Years 3 and 4 to complete Reading Screen and allowing staff to select pupils to complete the RILL programme based on pupil's scores on this activity (N.B., we will provide support to staff completing this).
Allowing pupils selected to take part in the project time to complete (a) the assessment activities and (b) the RILL programme (N.B., pupils will complete the RILL programme in addition to classroom based literacy instruction).
Providing TAs and pupils with an appropriate IT equipment with an internet connection (see below) in a quiet area of the school to complete the assessment activities and the RILL programme.

Quotes from schools currently participating in the RILL programme
From the teachers:
"The sessions are already prepared which is very helpful. It’s great that there is no additional planning involved.”
“I have noticed that most pupils taking part are particularly enjoying the story element of the sessions. The text varies e.g., diary, story, fact-file which is interesting for the pupils.”
“Pupils are eager to attend RILL sessions and are increasing in confidence as the sessions progress.”
"The pupils are always willing to try new work and have also really enjoyed the small group time."
From the students:
"RILL sessions are very fun because it’s funny when we record ourselves talking.”
“My favourite parts of RILL are the Sound Games and Narrative.”
“I enjoy learning new sounds and reading the stories. They are interesting.”
“My favourite part is practicing the alphabet sounds.”
“I really like the lessons.”
