Vocabulary Detectives is a show investigating vocabulary and how words mean what they do. Each episode will scrutinise different vocabulary and their morphology, educating us all about the words we use in a fun and informal way.
Adventures over the Atlantic: Bringing Lexonik to the U.S.
This week the Vocabulary Detectives are solving the mystery of American education. Sarah Ledger is joined by a fresh off the plane Lisa Parkinson, to talk about Lisa’s experience in the sunshine state of Florida, providing Lexonik training to American educators.
They discuss the differences with American English, the structure of the U.S. education system and how Lexonik’s universal principles of teaching can cross oceans to improve literacy!
Presented by Sarah Ledger CEO and Lisa Parkinson, Director at Lexonik.

Special Episode: Intervention choices
Before committing to any new school initiative, it’s important to demonstrate due diligence and research your prospective purchase. This is of course especially important for school leaders when we consider the current financial constraints on UK schools (https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/aug/02/schools-in-england-face-funding-crisis-as-costs-soar-study-warns).
Sarah and Lisa discuss how to evaluate the impact of interventions, factors to consider in delivering those interventions and how to use data on progress to ensure that your school is getting the most bang for your buck!
Presented by Sarah Ledger CEO and Lisa Parkinson, Director at Lexonik.

Special Episode - The National Literacy Trust Independent Evaluation of Lexonik Advance - the results are in!
Our latest Vocabulary Detectives podcast episode centres on the news that the National Literacy Trust has completed its 12 month assessment of our Lexonik Advance intervention.
Sarah and Lisa discuss the outstanding conclusions of the NLT impact evaluation, and delve into the issue of why an educational provider might seek to get its product or service externally assessed.
Not only was the NLT able to conclude that Lexonik Advance had had significant impact on students – in terms of reading age gains and literacy confidence – but, significantly, that there was positive and marked impact on the teachers being trained.
