Tender description
Switch-on is a research and evidence-based literacy intervention developed by Nottinghamshire County Council. It aims to enable struggling readers and writers to make accelerated progress and in turn to have a positive effect on their life chances. The one-to-one intervention requires a trained adult to teach pupils to read using books from a Switch-on book pack. The book packs are an essential requirement in the implementation of Switch-on, containing books from a wide variety of publishers and catering for differing interests and age groups. These books are carefully chosen and finely levelled by Switch-on developers. Nottinghamshire County Council will direct schools to a supplier of the book packs who will deal with schools’ enquiries, orders and deliveries directly. Participating schools are based across the UK.
