Teachers’ Notes ❑The PiXL therapies can be taught to a whole class or a target group. Each therapy is editable so that it can be adapted or extended. ❑Each therapy begins with a LORIC activity to develop relevant character attributes. ❑This is followed by a vocabulary task, which uses the PiXL 5-phase approach to teach key vocabulary. Further resources to develop vocabulary can be found in the Whole School area under the PiXL Unlock strategy. ❑Each therapy adopts the ‘Teach, model and apply’ process with plenty of opportunities for pupils to demonstrate the taught skill. ❑A range of question types are included to promote pupils’ developing security by testing the same skill in different ways.

taught skill to check that the pupil is able to perform it independently and consistently.
