New precision teaching resource

At Newbridge we are a big fan of precision teaching for some pupils who need lots of repetition and a visual clue to their rate of progress. We have a pack prepared to explain how to do this technique and we can deliver training to schools. However I found this link to make visually clear and simple precision sheets - well worth a look

Worksheet generator - huge free resource

http://www.worksheetgenius.com/html/word_lists_2.php?wordlist=picture+noun+e
Never a fan of worksheets and pen and paper in general- this site is quite a find as you can generate a whole range of sheets and games from a huge list of prepared words or you can easily add you own.
I clicked on 'Word Lists' and then using my own list I was able to easily make acrostics worksheets, bingo cards, code breaker sheets, flash cards, handwriting practice sheet, slideshow, precision teaching sheets, spelling practice worksheets, spelling test reminders and a word search !!!

There are also links for Maths, English, Clip Art, Clip art etc - take a look - may save you hours next term or provide you with 10 more ways to present the same words to a student who needs help to generalise skills.

I have been doing some new training in Redbridge this year looking at using simulated activities to highlight and increase general awareness for a whole range of disabilities and learning profiles. I have a list complied but to see the sort of thing I have been using, take a look at this link - great way to start some training in your school or explain to other family members why some people struggle with literacy acquisition.

An interesting article discussing dyslexia and spellings

http://penelopeelse.com/2011/04/dyslexia-a-remarkably-simple-cure/

This is some light reading but a very interesting article about spelling and our ability to spell effectively or not!
Are you looking upwards when you try to spell a difficult word?

Got a new budget - have a look at this site great sensory, language and coordination resources

http://www.sencostuff.co.uk/
A very easy to navigate site with targeted resources for sensory, communication, coordination, comprehension etc
These type of resources are often on sale at SEN shows, but are often hard to find the rest of the year or are very highly priced.
This site has a good collection at reasonable prices.
