OverviewNBSS Level 2 academic literacy and learning support is provided to students for whom Level 1 provision is not sufficient. Level 2 support is about targeting, planning and monitoring short-term focused interventions for small groups of students. Such an intervention might for example address two or more of the five main components of reading – comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonics and phonemic awareness - or focus on writing, spelling or study skills development. For some students, a tightly focused group intervention will be sufficient to allow them to develop their literacy skills and build their confidence to engage more actively in the learning process.Developing students’ reading skills through small group or individual interventions, using research validated approaches has been a specific focus of the work of the NBSS in the last number of years.

Rapid Plus is a reading scheme centered around a series of levelled books i.e. Texts of progressing difficulty,for struggling readers with reading ages of 6.6 to 9.6, that NBSS partner schools have implemented.The Rapid Plus books are age appropriate and match the interests and experiences of 11-14 year olds.The reading scheme can be used with small groups of students and employs a similar teaching approach and session routine to Catch Up Literacy i.e.

The Assessment Book for each Rapid Plus stage contains two fiction stories to help teachers assess students’ progress and address difficulties, if necessary, before moving onto the next stage. Each Assessment Book is supported by an assessment record in the Teaching Guide that allows the teacher to evaluate each students’ progress accurately.
