  1. Sensory Development programmes Improving literacy and numeracy Frank Green, CEO Leigh Academies Trust

  2. Literacy issues • Poor basic reading on entry • Poor phonic awareness – leads to proor spelling • Poor auditory processing – how well children hear • To say nothing of mathematical levels ...

  3. Reading age statistics at entry –average over 6 years up to 2009-10 34% of Year 7 students have reading ages of 9 years or less

  4. Whole academy – Correct letter sounds -e.g. what sound does the letter “p” usually make?

  5. Whole Academy - Silent “e”e.g. dot > dote;hat > hate

  6. RESULTS OF SCAN-A (auditory processing) ACROSS 3 YEAR GROUPS

  7. In order to make the transformation from 20/80 to 80/20 will just better teaching do it? (Remember Einstein’s definition …)

  8. Our team have identified high levels of auditory and visual processing problems amongst our students – This may also be true nationally?

  9. Long-term effects of 4-group programme GCSE results – 3 years after end of intervention

  10. Comparing Year 11 exam results(2009) between groups • Four matched groups of poor readers • Average reading age at entry in Year 7 of 8 yrs 10 months • Three months of intervention in their Year 8 (2005/6) • Compare with “the rest” • Average reading age at entry in Year 7 of 12 years 3 months.

  11. Percentage of students achieving 5+ GCSE grades of A* - C including English and Maths The Coordinated Movement group who were initially poor readers did almost as well as the good readers who did not participate in the interventions with more than 50% achieving.

  12. Average total point score in Yr 11 exams Initially poor readers from the Coordinated Movement group did better than the good readers who did not participate in the experiment.

  21. Reading Age for Year 7 (2009-10) Red = statistically significant improvement

  22. Reading Age for Year 7 (2008-9) Red = statistically significant improvement

  23. Reading age improvements between 2008-9 and 2009-10

  24. Specific improvements in students in Chaucer

  25. Chaucer reading age

  26. Chaucer reading speed

  27. Chaucer non-word reading (e.g. phoil, gnigh)

  28. Sensory programmes are effective for ALL ability ranges

  29. Sensory programmes are so effective that we need a new way of thinking

  30. We need to get the basics of cognitive processing and basic skills right first. The Listening and Movements also affect concentration, attention span behaviour i.e. attitude to learning

  31. Sensory programmes need to take priority early in Year 7

  32. Next Steps • All students at Leigh Trust secondary schools now follow a sensory programme of • The Listening Programme before • The Movement Programme

  33. Activity for each programme • 1/2hr a day every day for 12 weeks • Best done first thing in the morning • All Year 7 students take part • Trained staff are needed to manage it • It must be delivered properly and fully • Exponential tail off of the positive value, if not done thoroughly

  34. The Listening Programme (TLP) • Students listen to baroque and early classical music • Through specially adapted ipods • But moving to a web based delivery • TLP is owned by a US company that we buy it through

  35. The Movement Programme (Leigh Moves) • Groups of students watch the video programme that is projected in the classroom/hall • They copy the movements being demonstrated whilst being supervised

  36. The Movement programme

  37. The Movement Programme • Last year we invited a small group of schools to join in the Movement programme to finalise the development of the programme. • 7 schools took part, one was not able to implement; 6 have already committed to using the programme next year and the 7th intends to introduce it

  38. The Movement ProgrammeDelivery • Training and programme are being delivered through the web. • The cost is £1.50 per child, ie, £1500 for a 1000pupil school. • There are 24 films each 10-20 duration and they are shown every day over 12 weeks. • Best done early in the day • Careful monitoring of students to do the exercises properly is essential

  39. So we are confident can achieve 80% with E and M! It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. - Charles Darwin
