Now operating independently in schools, Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) is a small-group supplementary literacy intervention programme designed to help teachers provide intensive instruction for the lowest achieving students at their grade level using leveled reading books. LIFE partnered with the Ministry of Education to run LLI programmes for primary and high school students in the government schools across Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac.
DORA (Diagnostic Online Reading Assessments) is used before and after the intervention programme to gauge student progress. Past DORA testing results have shown reading level improvement across the board while 12% of students enrolled in the programme made over one whole school year’s growth in their reading levels.
This LIFE programme was made possible by the generous support of corporate sponsor, Walkers.
