Welcome

Author Jan Taylor

I came across this website the other day, more by accident than design and felt the need to share it with you: The Communication Trust

As a mother I know how children can struggle to express themselves, let alone process what is being communicated to them. There are many reasons why this occurs and I felt this site provides very useful information for practitioners who support the communication needs of all children.

With access to a variety of different publications, parents will also benefit from understanding what is available for practitioners, such as SENCo�s, when helping your child to communicate.

Another link to help parents is: talking point

Summer Holidays

Typing Tutor

With the holidays rapidly appearing you may want to consider getting a typing tutor for your children or even yourself to gain a lifelong and valuable skill.

If you are unsure of which typing tutor software and why typing is such a benefit then take a peek at this article: Typing Tutors

Another Idea

StarSpell

Another idea to help occupy children�whilst learning, is Starspell from Fisher-Marriott which will help�them with their spelling. Using the �look-cover-write-check� strategy this software will provide a variety of fun multi-sensory activities.

Every word is spoken, as well as being featured in context within a sentence making this program very accessible to dyslexic users.

Buy StarSpell: www.dyslexic.com/starspell
