What it is

IDL Literacy is a speaking-computer literacy intervention for children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. It teaches reading from phonological awareness through fluency, alongside spelling, touch-typing, vocabulary and comprehension. Lessons combine sight, sound, touch and voice, with gamified elements and practice in phonics, decoding and spelling. Teachers can view progress reports and identify areas where pupils are struggling. Pupils may work independently or with minimal supervision, supporting targeted intervention groups or wider school literacy support for primary and secondary pupils. Access is available at school or home through Chrome on a computer or laptop, or through separate free Android tablet and iPad apps. Progress is stored in the cloud so learners can continue where they stopped. A standalone school licence includes the Literacy Screener. IDL lists a free trial, dedicated technical support, customer service and complimentary staff training. The listed price is priced on request, with no free plan.
