  • Citation in Curriculum for Wales Annual Report 2023

    The Research on the Instruction of Literacy with Language was directly cited in the 2023 Curriculum for Wales annual report on page 32, as a tool supporting cross-curricular skills: "the Research on the Instruction of Literacy with Language project is focusing on a bespoke Welsh-language programme which builds Welsh vocabulary and literacy skills"

  • BU-IIA Funded Project: Accelerating the impact of the Remote Instruction of Language and Literacy (RILL) programme via “the RILL community hub”: A Welsh-focused UK hub to co-ordinate and strengthen RILL implementation in Wales and England.

    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 Bangor University Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £44,379

  • BU-IIA Funded Project: Towards a comprehensive BU service for neurocognitive developmental disorders: Developing a screener for social-behavioural difficulties as a route to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment

    We seek to (1) develop a bilingual screening tool to quickly and accurately identify children with complex needs who are referred to the Miles Dyslexia Centre, allowing them to be immediately referred to an appropriate practitioner for a full assessment; (2) scope the current situation and measure waiting times for local children with social difficulties with a level of precision, taking a look at the impact of the pandemic on both waiting times and how assessments are carried out (e.g., remote assessment, bilingual assessment); (3) build and coordinate a group of researchers, educational practitioners, and clinical practitioners with the aim of moving towards an integrated assessment and care system for children with learning difficulties and ASD. Including clinical practitioners is essential, since a complete assessment would need to be a team effort between community, educational, and clinical (NHS) services. Our longer-term aim is to establish a BU Neurodevelopmental Centre that would not only push forward cutting edge translational neurodevelopmental research, but would also service the needs of children locally and nationally (via remote assessment and intervention) and which we hope will serve as a blueprint for excellence in provision within both “remote” rural areas and bilingual contexts.
