  • Working Memory and Learning : A ...

    $67.00

    A good working memory is crucial to becoming a successful learner, yet there is very little material available in an easy-to-use format that explains the concept and offers practitioners ways to support children with poor working memory in the classroom.

    This book provides a coherent overview of the role played by working memory in learning during the school years, and uses theory to inform good practice.

    Topics covered include:
    – the link between working memory skills and key areas of learning (such as literacy & numeracy)
    – the relationship between working memory and children with developmental disorders
    – assessment of children for working memory deficits
    – strategies for supporting working memory in under-performing children

    This accessible guide will help SENCOs, teachers, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists and educational psychologists to understand and address working memory in their setting.

  • Beneath the Surface of Words Wha...

    $35.95

    English spelling has an undeserved reputation as unreliable and riddled with frustrating quirks. In the pages of this book, you’ll find stories, examples, and explanations that will reorient your perspective and reveal the integrated system that makes sense of the spelling of English words.

    This book will answer questions like these:

    – Why is there a W in answer and an L in talk?

    – What’s going on with words like move and comfortable?

    – Why isn’t hasten spelled like basin or mason?

    These spellings make sense once we are aware of all that’s conveyed by a written word—information about so much more than just its pronunciation. This book will introduce the structural (morphological) framework that is present in every English word, reveal the signals of relationships that are embedded in our most interesting spellings, and provide enlightening evidence to support a reevaluation of some traditional spelling rules.

    The compelling explanations of English spelling contained in this book allow all of us to understand and reconstruct many spellings, rather than memorizing them, while expanding vocabulary and deepening reading comprehension. This is particularly important for those with dyslexia.

    Set aside what you know about spelling for the moment, and take a journey below the surface of words. Together, we’ll uncover the surprising coherence, depth, and clarity of the English writing system.

  • Morph Mastery : A Morphological ...

    $94.99

    Morph Mastery is an accessible, practical guide designed to support learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) who are struggling with spelling, reading and vocabulary. It is an effective, research-based and fun solution for when phonics-based teaching has run its course.
    It is also VERY possible to use the excellent teaching ideas in this resource for whole calss teaching.

    Key features include:

    • Exciting and engaging activities and games, designed to be used by individuals or small groups

    • Detailed, curriculum-linked assessments, enabling specific target setting

    • Photocopiable and downloadable activity sheets and resources
