Lexinclusive® Literacy Confidence Toolkit

Help children build a more positive relationship with reading and writing with the Lexinclusive® Literacy Confidence Toolkit.

This practical collection of printable resources has been designed to support children in recognising their progress, celebrating achievements and developing confidence in their literacy journey.

Literacy progress is not always about reaching the next reading level or spelling every word correctly. Sometimes progress can be seen in the small steps: attempting a challenging word, reading aloud, asking for help, sharing an idea or continuing when learning feels difficult.

The Lexinclusive® Literacy Confidence Toolkit brings together a range of engaging resources to encourage reflection, conversation, goal setting and celebration.

What’s Included?

A simple tool to help children reflect on how they feel about reading and writing, recognise areas of growing confidence and identify next steps.

Literacy Confidence Conversation Cards

30 colour-coded conversation cards designed to encourage meaningful discussions about reading, writing, challenges, achievements and future goals.

Celebrating Small Literacy Wins

A resource designed to help children recognise and celebrate the small but meaningful steps they make in their literacy development.

A selection of certificates to recognise effort, perseverance, progress and individual literacy achievements.
