IDL Literacy
Lancaster, United Kingdom
What it is
IDL Literacy is a speaking-computer-based, multisensory literacy intervention for children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. Lessons cover reading from phonological awareness through fluency, plus spelling, touch-typing, vocabulary, and comprehension. Activities combine sight, sound, touch, and voice and include gamified elements. Teachers can view progress reports and identify areas where pupils are struggling. IDL says pupils may work independently or with minimal supervision, supporting larger intervention groups. Pupils can use the service at school or home on a computer or tablet, with progress stored in the cloud so they can continue where they stopped. Browser access uses Chrome on a computer or laptop; separate free apps are available for Android tablets and iPads. A standalone school licence includes the Literacy Screener. The listed price is priced on request, with a free trial and no free plan.
