AD/HD and Attention Difficulties
Price £2 (FREE postage) |
AD/HD and Attention Difficulties in the Early Years Parents are often left scratching their heads over the issue of ADHD ... there is just so much information ... and misinformation. Dr Hannah Mortimer is well know for putting aside the waffle and focussing on the child. She does that perfectly in this booklet for parents. There is easy-to-read information on identification, diagnosis and what you might observe in this group of children and she suggests ways of providing practical support. "...so full of useful information, ideas and strategies for dealing with the child who has attention problems, that the practitioner will probably have it constantly to hand ..." |

Helping Children Hang
On To Your Every Word
Every teacher should read this book regularly! And parents ... if they haven't read it, get one and make sure they do. It is just BRILLIANT. Why is it that the children who
can least afford to switch off are the ones who don’t pay
attention? And that children who most need to ask for help are
the ones least likely to do so? If children are opting out in
the classroom, switching off or passively waiting for direction,
we need to understand the barriers they face and help them
engage by making their learning opportunities more meaningful,
interactive and rewarding. |
Word Problems: The Language of Maths £12.95 (FREE postage) |
Word Problems You've come across this ... children can do calculations – the mechanical aspect – but put the problem into a written context and you will frequently hear, ‘Is it an add or a take away?'

Getting to Grips with Word Problems £12.95 (FREE postage) |
Getting to Grips with Word Problems
Because of the way this is structured it is ideal for parents to work through with children.
Many children are able to cope in maths when
asked to do calculations, but struggle when the same calculations are
presented as written problems. For this reason, word problems are perhaps
one of the least popular and most difficult aspects of primary mathematics.
Getting to Grips with Word Problems provides a structured approach. Starting with the four main operations, children work through a format that not only trains them to think carefully about the way in which a problem can be attacked, but also promotes success before moving on to more challenging chapters.
Each of the following chapters begins with a ‘Getting to Grips with’ section which helps to explain the concepts involved, followed by ‘Solve It’ sections with contextual questions for pupils to work through.
The chapters deal with such concepts as decimals, percentages, fractions, money, averages and measurement – topics which children of all abilities may struggle with from time to time. |
 Gifted and Talented Children
Price £2 (FREE postage) |
Gifted and Talented Children in the Early Years
Let's face it ... we all think our children are gifted (and I'm no exception!) But are they???What do we mean by 'gifted' and 'talented'? What are the characteristics of gifted learners? How do we identify and support children in the early years who show early signs of giftedness? Hannah Mortimer deals with these and other issues, providing practical suggestions about how to identify and meet the needs of gifted and talented pupils. The issues are addressed in a clear and readable style, always with short examples and a practical focus. |
