Our mission is to ensure that children can continue to receive the best possible literacy tuition during school closures, and to rapidly regain and improve literacy skills now that schools have reopened. RILL has already received significant funding from the ESRC and Welsh Government, and RILL is being used in 55 North Wales schools. We are now on the cusp of two large scale randomised control trial evaluations (Sept 2022 – April 2024) funded by the Welsh Government (RILL-Cymraeg; Welsh medium) and the Nuffield Foundation (RILL-English; English medium). The next step (from 2024 onwards) is to scale it up into a national resource for use in all primary schools, across the UK, with help from the Education Endowment Fund (EEF).
Funding awarded through the Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £44,379
