Helping Children Hang
On To Your Every Word
by Maggie Johnson
Read reviews
|
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.
This book aims to make classroom experience more accessible to
all learners, and highlights the links between behaviour and
hidden language processing difficulties. Based on tried and
tested activities, strategies and self-help skills, you will
find answers to these questions and ways of improving attention
and concentration linked to a simple troubleshooting guide. (£10
inclusive of postage & packing)

Guidelines for a Speech and Language Friendly School
by a partnership of educational professionals, Swindon |
|
 |
Here is a book full of practical advice
and guidance that will help both in raising awareness of speech and
language issues in mainstream schools and help staff increase their
confidence and skills working with children with these difficulties.
By completing a ‘criteria grid’, schools do an audit of their current
provision – this highlights areas such as awareness, knowledge and
strategies that need to be developed. A ‘warning checklist’ is also
provided that will help you identify problems at an early stage. There
are also sections on typical speech and language development; suggested
strategies for the classroom – dealing with areas such as play,
attention and listening skills, memory skills, sequencing, and
comprehension. There is a section on IEPs with many examples of IEP
targets for listening, auditory memory, sequencing, vocabulary,
prediction, grammatical structures and so on. Finally, there is a
comprehensive index with a glossary of speech and language terminology,
an example of a referral form for speech and language assessment,
examples of IEPs and a list of useful books and resources. |

Managing
your 13-16 year-old
by Stockton-on-Tees Educational Psychology Service |
|
 |
For many parents the teenage years can be one
of the most difficult periods in their children’s development towards
adulthood. Young teenagers are beginning to assert themselves, keen to try
out new things and become more independent. Conflict often occurs as they
take more control of their lives and test parents ‘to the limit’. At the
same time they require steady guidance and support from their parents –
often not an easy task! This is a practical guide offering many useful
suggestions to parents. |

Word
Problems: The Language of Maths
by Leonie Ewing & Ian Ward |
|
 |
Word problems are perhaps one of the least
popular aspects of primary mathematics that children encounter. Often
children can do the 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?'
This book takes a structured and varied
approach to teaching the skills of solving word problems. The earlier part
of the book uses a pictorial approach and often involves a practical
activity e.g. cutting and pasting the relevant word sentences to match the
word problem. Later pages are intended for older children and extend the
introduction of simple writing frames. This book, packed with activities,
can be completed individually or in pairs by children working together.
Suitable for Key Stages 1 and 2.

Complete Guide to Baby Signing
by Joseph Garcia |
|
 |
Babies have control over their hands long
before they develop the fine motor skills required for speech. By
teaching their infants to sign, starting as early as eight months, more
and more parents, grandparents and carers are recognising the benefits
of this early communication.
This book provides detailed instruction
and a wealth of illustrations to show you how and when to use the
various signs. There is also a DVD dictionary with live-action video
clips to make it even easier.
Written especially for British readers, it
uses British Sign Language (BSL) throughout. |
