The Literacy Toolbox

The Literacy Toolbox is an immersive online web application for schools which handles the transition from decoding to fluency in children of all ages.

So lovely to hear how Literacy Toolbox has made the experience of learning to read less daunting, a feeling a lot of us can relate to:

Day 2, part 2 of perceptual history: It was not until the latter party of the 20th century that researchers demonstrated that adults (and older children) have highly mutable perceptual systems allowing neural pathways to change with learning.

#Day2: Building on Eleanor Gibson’s theories and why Literacy Toolbox can be crucial for regaining confidence for children falling behind in ‘reading age’:
It was assumed that once a child passed early stages of human development perceptual learning was no longer effective.

However, it wasn’t until Eleanor Gibson published her book ‘The Principles of Perceptual Learning and Development’ that the concept of perceptual learning was brought into the modern age. This was in 1969.

Day 1 of Perceptual History!
Perceptual learning has existed for centuries in the idea that ‘practice makes perfect’. It wasn’t until the 19th century that it began to be applied to study which focused on the ‘just noticeable distance’ between where one’s skin had been touched.

Children are, quite possibly, the most observant individuals we’ll ever meet.

It’s not simply enough to advocate reading for pleasure to them if we aren’t modelling this ourselves.

Children don’t need awards or incentives to read, they need you to put this into practice too.

In an effort to promote our Toolbox, over the next few days join us for 5 days of perceptual learning history. Starting tomorrow! 📚📚

What is perceptual learning?

It is an experienced based learning technique that teaches through events rather than explanations. It helps children make sense of what they are reading or hearing with the ultimate goal of boosting confidence. 📚

The free home version of our program is great for half term! It is a cut down version of our full program and gives you a taste of what we do! Check out our website, the link is in our bio 📚

Reading for pleasure has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. It really does change their lives FOREVER! So whatever else you do – please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important. #literacy

[The Literacy Toolbox @LiteracyToolbo1]

We believe that helping children and gaining them confidence will give them the tools to greatly improve their literacy ability.

[The Literacy Toolbox @LiteracyToolbo1]

Through the use of perceptual learning we promote a carefully crafted experience of memorising rather than just an explanation. Thus it helps our students gain confidence in their ability of reading, especially out loud, while developing their reading skills.

Good morning everyone! Happy half term 🎉

Hello, this is the official account for Literacy Toolbox. We are a website designed to aid children, through perceptual literacy, to gain confidence in their ability to read and speak publicly.
