Hi, welcome to my shop. I have been a primary teacher for 34 years and have a wide range of experience in different roles. I have been a senior leader in schools and most recently a SENDCO for 10 years. I am posting resources that I think will be helpful for SENDCOs, class teachers or even parents and home educators. I am new to this - so please do send reviews to help me improve - or requests if there is something you think I might be able to create that you would find helpful.

Precision Teaching for Reading Booklet A - Year 1 CEW

(0)
This booklet is a pre- prepared resource to support work on reading Year 1 common exception words. It can be used with the plan for delivering precision teaching as an intervention. Precision teaching is often recommended as a strategy to assist students in learning to recall or decode reading words with automaticity or fluency. Educational psychologists will sometimes suggest this approach for students with a dyslexic profile who need to use memory to support their phonological processing. Study of the words should be done in line with a school’s phonics scheme approach to tricky or exception words.

Calming Activity Rainbow Route

Calming Activity Rainbow Route

(0)
This set of cards can be used to provide a series of calming activities for a student. Each card has a task that will help control breathing, relax tension, and help the student to refocus on being in the moment. It can be helpful to review the different activities and help the student decide which might be good to apply when they feel anxious or overwhelmed within the classroom. Rainbow Routes are designed to be displayed at a series of locations within or beyond the classroom. The student then travels from one card to the next and engages with the activity. They are particularly useful for students who find the classroom environment challenging and need a structured approach to being out of class for a period of time. However, they could also be out into a display book and used in one location whether that is in class or beyond. These kinds of activities can be very appropriate for neurologically atypical students for example with ASD or ADHD or students suffering from anxiety.

This resource is a blank simple visual plan for a sensory circuit with alerting, organising and calming phases that can be personalised for a particular student. Sensory circuits can be used at the start of a day or session with students who need this kind of activity to transition into the learning environment. Sensory circuits can also provide a useful refocus and reset break for students at any point in the school day. They are often recommended by occupational therapists for students with neurologically typical development such as ASD or ADHD or a sensory processing disorder.

Phonics Interactive Activities Bundle

Phonics Interactive Activities Bundle

4 Resources
Want an accessible way and interactive way for students to be able to engage with learning phonics. This bundle has 4 interactive activities that cover all 26 single letter sounds – introduced in an order that will match the teaching sequence in many schools. Students are presented with visual multiple-choice options that they can select using computer/laptop, touch screen or adapted input device. The presentation gives the student instant feedback and prompts them to retry any incorrect responses. There a two and three option multiple choice activities for each set of letters. The activities could be done independently. They can also be done with a supportive adult voicing elements for the student. I recommend voicing the sound for the letter/ grapheme and say the options for the student where the activity is being used for teaching. Where it might be used to assess what has been retained – the adult might not voice the sound but voicing the options for the student. Whilst this was designed with making phonics accessible for SEND students in mind – it can also be used with any student learning phonics who engages well with interactive formats.

Phonics Interactive Activity for CVC words

(0)
An accessible way for students to show the phonics knowledge they have learned and begin to engage with blending sounds together into cvc words. They are presented with visual cue and then two written options that they can select from using computer/laptop, touch screen or adapted input device. The written words have sound buttons underneath to use as a teaching aid. The presentation gives the student instant feedback and prompts them to retry any incorrect responses. This presentation has 5 sections – one for each vowel as a medial sound and there are 6 items in each section giving 30 cvc words to work on overall. Students could work on just one section or complete the whole activity. The activity could be done independently. It can also be done with a supportive adult voicing elements for the student. I recommend voicing the visual cue and then either the student reads the written choices – or if an adult is voicing them to do so as separate sounds that the student then blends to say or know the word. Whilst this was designed with making phonics accessible for SEND students in mind – it can also be used with any student learning phonics who engages well with interactive formats. It would also make a game that can be used in group or class sessions.
