What is the Five Minute Box?

The Five Minute Box is a multi-sensory support programme developed by Jane Kendall (BA, Dip RSA SpLD) as a 1:1 intervention for learners who have difficulties with early level literacy. The programme is designed to reinforce and support early level skills for learners who have been identified with gaps at this level. They enable learners to increase knowledge, strengthen skills and build confidence within literacy using early level benchmarks. The simple, structured assessments should be delivered to identify suitability of the intervention, establish gaps and define a starting point for each learner.

Using the box

Sessions are delivered by a Pupil Support Assistant with a minimum of 3 x 15 minute sessions a week.  No planning is required and the box has easy to follow instruction booklets.
