learning time.

Starter Stile Literacy – Key Stage 1

Based on the popular 12-tile Stile activities, Starter Stile is aimed at helping younger learners with early reading and recognition

skills. Children as young as 4 will soon be able to work alone as they match the tiles directly over the answers. These unique,

self-checking exercises not only help children learn vital word level skills but are also great fun! This method is highly motivating

and perfect for individual work during literacy lessons.

4. Sounds Fun!

Spoken language breaks down in to sentences, phrases, words and individual sounds

(phonemes), and phonics is the building block on which all spoken and written language is

based.

This book is all about sounds in words. Written mainly for parents and carers, it’s a fun, useful way

of helping children to develop their skills with phonics. By doing this, parents will be supporting

their child in developing speech sounds, their spoken and written language, and their spelling.

The games are presented in three sections according to where they might be played. Within each

section there are syllable games, games for individual sounds within words and rhyming games.

The syllable games will be much easier than the other sets of games, so it is best to start with

some of these. All games require very little if any equipment - just keen eyes and everyday items!

All the games can be played with one child and one adult. They can equally be expanded to

include brothers and sisters, friends, grandparents etc.

Words are all around us... so go out there and have some fun with phonics!

This collection of 102 active phonic games is

the perfect resource for developing children’s

phonological skills. The games cover a wide range

of skills including identifying syllables, recognising

initial and fi nal word sounds, rhyming knowledge and

phoneme manipulation. Phonic skills are taught in a

multi-sensory way by combining visual, auditory and

kinaesthetic approaches to learning. Designed to be

played in group settings using little equipment, the

activities enable the children to learn in an interactive

way and gain knowledge from their peers. Each

game has suggestions for making the task harder

or easier, helping you to pitch the game at the right

level for your group. Suitable for children age 4 years

2. I Hear with my Little Ear 2

This book is a companion to Liz Baldwin’s earlier

book with LDA, I Hear with my Little Ear, which was a

collection of 102 phonic games.

I Hear with my Little Ear 2 is a collection of 102

language games designed to help with aspects of

language acquisition and use. The book is divided

into four sections focusing on listening skills, language

structures, vocabulary development and use of

language. Each section provides games addressing

different aspects of the communication process.

The games are designed to be played in groups. Most

are written for use as a whole class, but all are equally

applicable to small groups. The games are intended

for use by anyone with an interest in extending

children’s language development. They are suitable

for children from the age of 3 to 11. Most of the

games need very few resources and no preparation.

Every game has ideas to make the activity easier for

those children who are at the start of being able to

understand and use the language target. Similarly,

there are suggestions for making every game harder

for those children who need to have their language

skills stretched.

Contains 128 pages (246 x 168mm) and includes

The ACE Spelling Dictionary includes updated and

extended vocabulary, more alternative spellings,

more plural forms and more ‘sound-alike’ words with

meanings. The middle section is a darker blue to make

it easier to fi nd the right page. It is clear that pupils with

spelling diffi culties often experience problems with the

whole curriculum and lose confi dence with writing. The

ACE Spelling Dictionary breaks through these problems.

Using the unique 2-page index spread, pupils need only

think how a word sounds to fi nd out how to spell it. By

simply identifying the fi rst vowel sound, the speller is sent

instantly to the page where the problem word is found.

The easy-to-use reference system will tempt them to use

more interesting words in their writing, enabling them to

produce work that they can be proud of. Both patterns

and irregularities are highlighted in the dictionary so that

pupils learn to spell incidentally. The dictionary includes

a clear step-by-step guide to effective teaching with the

dictionary, over 20,000 words, a comprehensive list of

commonly misspelt words and further learning strategies

for spelling. Contains 328 pages (168 x 246mm).

The Advanced ACE Spelling Dictionary has a unique

index based on the principles of the ACE Spelling

Dictionary. The user need only think how a word sounds

in order to fi nd out how to spell it. Once the fi rst vowel

sound has been identifi ed, the user will be directed to

the page where they will fi nd the word they are looking

Kaos World Chronicles - A structured literacy scheme for KS3-4 students

This reading scheme is designed for secondary students who have struggled to engage with literacy or who have gaps in their learning.

The Stories

There are a series of high-interest, low-ability short stories in two versions – Easy and Standard. Books 1-10 progress from RA 5.5 to 6.2 in the easy

versions and 6 to 7.2 in the standard versions, based on the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Levels. Two versions of the story allow for differentiation and

enable more students to access whole-group work.

The stories are set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world where society has broken down. They follow two main characters, Travis and Spanna,

as they battle to survive in a dangerous, unpredictable world. Each book continues the story on from the one before, which helps to maintain the

students’ interest in reading and build up their enthusiasm for literacy.

The stories develop in complexity and deal with key contemporary issues such as violence, bullying, gang-membership, risk-taking and love.

Each story also contains a list of tricky words at the back to reinforce the more difficult vocabulary found in the book, and the number of words on

each page is highlighted so students can record their progress and feel a sense of achievement as their fluency improves.

Teacher’s books and accompanying CDs provide electronic versions of worksheets, monitoring sheets, records of progress, target sheets and

certificates to help motivate and reward.

Each reading book is A5 with 24 pages and black and white illustrations.

A unique approach to developing fi ne motor and

different and effective approach to handwriting.

Structured activities develop the muscles of the hand

so that children gain the necessary control to produce

letter forms, alongside the perceptual skills required to

orientate and organise letters and words. It has been

extensively used in British schools and proved highly

successful with:

1. Speed Up! Blackboard

The double-sided blackboard extensively featured in

Speed Up! (below), was requested so frequently that we

have created our own innovative double-sided board.

Made of durable MDF with a high-quality varnished

stand, non-slip feet and a hook hole for easy storage,

this sturdy board is an integral part of the Speed

Up! handwriting programme. Through following the

programme, children will enjoy a range of activities

using the board, improving kinaesthetic awareness,

co-ordination and in turn handwriting and self-esteem.

The board itself measures 750 x 600mm. Assembly

required. Age Suitability: 8 Years +

ECMT10018 * £ 65.95

2. Speed Up!

In just eight weekly sessions, Speed Up! provides a

multi-sensory course of help for any child aged 8-13

whose handwriting is illegible, slow or lacking in

fl uency. Poor handwriting hinders many children’s

progress - right across the curriculum. Unfortunately,

most handwriting schemes do little to help children

who are struggling with this vital skill. Here, at last,

is a new and highly effective approach. Developed

by a leading paediatric occupational therapist and

designed specifi cally for older children struggling with

handwriting, Speed Up! gets to the root of writing

diffi culties by developing kinaesthetic awareness

through multi-sensory activity and exercise. The

programme includes:

and how to tackle them.

The sessions may be delivered by a teacher, teaching

assistant, classroom assistant or therapist. The

emphasis throughout is on enjoyment, building self-

esteem and developing writing confi dence. Contains 64

A4 pages.

Write This Way is a new and exciting handwriting

programme that brings a fresh perspective to teaching

children how to write letters correctly.

The fantastic set of colourful fl icker books is the

innovative core of the materials. They offer an engaging

new perspective on learning the correct formation of

letters. Each animated book shows the correct way to

form a letter of the alphabet in a unique and humorous

way. Children will love these books and will want to use

them again and again, reinforcing good handwriting

practice as they do so. The fl icker books are displayed

in an easily accessible box specifi cally designed for

independent use.

The full-colour teacher’s guide includes a wealth of

multisensory activities to support traditional handwriting

practice. These activities use a wide variety of tactile

media to stimulate children’s imagination, increase

their visual memory and develop their motor skills.

The teacher’s book includes a range of photocopiable

handwriting activities that introduce a colour-coding

system for remembering letter families that use the

same pencil strokes. These pages are also available in

printable form on the accompanying CD for school or

home use.

Contains a 64-page A4 full-colour teacher’s book, plus

CD, and 26 full-colour fl icker books (each with 80 pages,

80 x 30mm) in a presentation box.

be used with a chinagraph pencil or water-based felt-tip

pen and cleaned for reuse. Each board measures 130 ×
