Resources
The Leiamos platform organises its resources into four areas, to follow the child from assessment through to intervention.
Assessment tools
The platform assesses pre-reading skills, reading skills, and reading age at three points: initial assessment, mid-cycle assessment, and final assessment. Assessments follow the pace of the school year.
What the child already hears and tells apart in the sounds of words, before they can read.
How the child reads words and pseudowords: whether they can decode them alphabetically and orthographically.
The age the child's reading corresponds to, compared with the one expected for their age.
The Leiamos app produces reports for teachers, educators, and parents: monitoring and prescribing interventions, with specific information per child (parents) or per class (teacher/educator), pointing to intervention plans tailored to the needs identified.
The platform generates detailed reports indicating, for each skill, an intervention plan tailored to building up the weaker skills identified in the assessment.
Virtual setting
An interactive platform with games structured in increasing order of complexity, driven by an algorithm sensitive to each child's learning pace, with immediate feedback and a reward system.
Word-initial sound
Every level has a fisherman (a frog, a seal… and the sound their name begins with). Fish swim past carrying pictures, and the child casts the hook at the ones starting with that same sound. Four right catches win the level.
Word-initial sound
Six pictures in an album and, beside them, face-down cards. The child turns a card over and carries it to the picture starting with the same sound. Each match sticks the card to the page and plays the sound they share.
Word-initial sound — spotting the odd one out
Five pictures hang on a wall: four begin with the same sound and one does not. The child hears the odd one’s sound and drags it to the door. Seven rounds per level, and the sound changes each round.
Word-initial sound
A lotto card with six pictures and two cards in play at a time. The child matches each card to the picture starting with the same sound. If they tap a card before dragging it, they’ll hear the card’s sound.
Word-initial sound
A traveller (the rat, the seal, the lion…) is packing a bag. Out of six pictures, the child packs into the bag the ones starting with the same sound as their name. Each traveller has three stages, each dealing fresh cards.
Written words — decoding
Here the words appear in writing. A word is spoken (never shown in writing) and the child has ten seconds to find it on the card. If the spoken word isn’t on the bingo card, it goes in the bin. Nine hits make “Bingo!”.
Real-world setting
Intervention happens in both virtual and real-world settings, building pre-reading and reading skills through structured activities: learning objectives, step-by-step procedures, and printable materials.
Training and ongoing support
The training and motivational component is essential to the effectiveness of the Leiamos Methodology. For each activity, objectives, procedures, and materials are provided in both written and video format.
Using the assessment and intervention tools, and reading and interpreting the reports.
Theoretical foundations, pedagogical approach, and the Leiamos intervention model.
Continuous support for teachers throughout the application of the Leiamos Methodology.
We walk through the assessment, the reports and the games in a session with your school or institution.
