Memory Trainers - Digital Format

Memory Trainers - Digital Format

£8.25

Practical techniques, games and systems to improve memory skills for staff and students.

Memory is one of the keys to successful learning, thus by improving memory skills we can make a real difference to the achievements of all pupils.

This book is based on programmes used in our study clubs, summer schools, challenge days and lessons. They have been developed with a wide range of pupils in both primary and secondary schools and also feature in our training work with adults.

By following a clearly defined programme we have observed improvements in individuals':

*** Confidence *** Self Belief *** Motivation *** Concentration ***

These activities and games aim to improve pupil's self-esteem by showing them that they can learn, that there are many different ways to learn, and that learning can be fun!

Positive attitudes and high self-esteem are the pre-requisites to successful learning. This does not happen over-night and requires patience and commitment from teachers and adults.

We are confident that these materials will contribute positively to this work and hope that you and your pupils will enjoy the same degree of stimulation and success that we have experienced in our work.

The Trouble with Maths - A practical guide to helping learners with numeracy difficulties

The Trouble with Maths - A practical guide to helping learners with numeracy difficulties

£26.99

Written in a superb jargon-free style, this book offers important insights into the often confusing world of numeracy. By looking at learning difficulties in maths from several perspectives, including the language of mathematics, thinking styles and the demands of individual topics, Steve Chinn delivers a comprehensive yet succinct text which will become an essential classroom companion to anyone who uses it. Whilst considering every aspect concerning maths and learning, this book achieves a perfect balance of advice, guidance and practical activities, enabling the reader to: develop flexible thinking skills; use alternative strategies for pupils to access basic facts; implement effective preventative measures before disaffection sets in; recognise maths anxiety and tackle self-esteem problems; make accurate ongoing assessments of pupils' difficulties; design informal diagnostic procedures. With useful features such as checklists for evaluation of books, software and text materials, this book highlights essential skills that will allow teachers to diagnose and address maths difficulties and improve standards.

It draws on tried and tested methods based on the author's years of classroom experience to provide an authoritative one-stop classroom resource for teachers, classroom assistants, Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators, student teachers, and learning support staff.

CAP It All! - Practical tools and techniques to identify and assess individual needs

CAP It All! - Practical tools and techniques to identify and assess individual needs

£35.00

Concern Assess Provide - CAP It All! is another of our practical, ‘no frills’ resources for busy SENCOs, Learning Support Coordinators and Inclusion Managers.

The book is designed to aid the process of identification and assessment of pupils who have been referred by class teachers because of their lack of progress in the classroom.

Early and Earliest - It is not always necessary, and certainly not always possible, to refer a pupil on to another professional for diagnosis and advice. Starting the process of evidence gathering early can be very effective, and may even produce the desired improvement as time and thinking is devoted to the pupil.

The CAP It All! resources promote a problem solving approach to helping pupils causing concern. The process encourages a collaborative approach as colleagues to work better understand individual learning needs. Early and earliest identification can save time, resources and help to lower stress levels all round!

Study Skills

Study Skills

£18.00

Practical resources, planners, note taking, thinking grids, brainstorming, revision tips.

Good study skills are known to be vital to successful learning. This book provides a set of resources to allow students to practice several key study skills; reading and comprehension, understanding different writing styles, note making and note taking, memory maps and training, revision and exam skills. However, it also goes beyond this to look at the needs of the student as a learner. In an attempt to answer the question ‘What makes a successful student’? We have identified not only these traditional study skills but also a range of other skills and abilities. These skills are used by students who are not necessarily the most academically gifted, but they are those who:

Have an understanding of their learning preferences and work to these strengths

Organise their time and resources

Set targets and are pleased with their success

Revise

Complete assignments, tests and exams successfully

We believe that students need to understand something about their personal study preferences. Resources are therefore supplied to help students identify their personal learning skills, set targets, plan their time, understand the importance of diet and health and know how to handle stress. Having this self - awareness empowers students to use their talents in a variety of ways allowing them to learn more efficiently and achieve success at Key stage 3 and 4.

The materials are split into three parts:

1. Personal Learning Skills

2. Practical Literacy Skills

3. Revision and Exam Skills

Having this self-awareness empowers students to use their talents in a variety of ways

allowing them to learn more efficiently. In our work in schools, study clubs and challenge events we have been surprised at how often students and teachers were not confident about learning how to learn and this book offers practical resources and specific skills to support both students and teachers.
