Year 3 Literacy Support (Y3LS) is a 'Wave 2' intervention programme designed for use in Year 3 for pupils assessed by teachers as being at risk of underachievement and likely to benefit from a limited period of targeted support designed to enable them to reach age related expectations. The materials consist of detailed sessions designed for use by trained teaching assistants (TAs) working in close partnership with class teachers, together with guidance on implementation and pupil progress tracking.
