Wow how time flies! Just completed another Sounds-write training course with teachers in Milton Keynes and enjoyed delivering training with one of the authors of the Sounds-write programme. His blog is packed with interesting info on learning to read and phonics so if you want to have a look just follow the link http://www.theliteracyblog.com/
Recently I have come across a number of students who really struggle with reading and it is amazing to be able to help often they just have not been taught the skills they need to be successful readers and the sounds-write programme can quickly give them those skills. In schools we teach reading in reception and year 1 and 2 but if for some reason a child doesn’t grasp it then schools never actually seem to teach them to read later on in their school life. Not being literate or not being confident with reading does simply prevent students accessing the curriculum so it really needs addressing.
I’m sure you know that we are passionate about tapping as a tool to empower people to manage emotional issues – I thought this video was a great as it shows how tapping can be used in schools to help whole classes https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=303512106505504&set=vb.152948214895228&type=2&theater
