Rules RuleDr Lillian Fawcett

Sound HearingDr Lillian Fawcett

Spelling tends to be taught in schools using visual memory, with little application of the rules. 85% of English words follow the 45 rules presented in this book.

This book consists of three sections:

Two sets of rule cards - for you to laminate and cut into cards to practice each of the rules outlined in the book.

Nonsense Word Activities - 28 nonsense word exercises to practice the application of the rules.

Real Word Activities - 44 real word exercises to reinforce the application of the rules.

Rules Rule has explicit instructions to help parents teach their children the rules in a sequential way, and the photocopiable version is a great resource for teachers and schools.

A program designed to develop phonological awareness and auditory processing skills.

The book contains a phonological awareness test to determine the correct starting level, and then a series of auditory exercises which involve identifying and manipulating the sounds in speech, which is necessary for success in learning to read and spell.

Grapheme cards at the back of the book allow for multisensory practice of manipulating the sounds in words.

The photocopiable version is a great resource for teachers and Schools.

Many students find it difficult to write in a cohesive, interesting and fluent style.

Writing Persuasively is divided into 4 parts.

Part 1: Provides activities for developing students oral expression and their ability to think quickly.

Part 2: Teaches students the formula underlying persuasive writing.

LiteracyBooks

Part 3: Takes students writing to the next level by helping them develop the techniques associated with effective writing.

Early Mathematical ExperiencesDr Paul Swan

Early Mathematical Experiences is designed for teachers working with 4 - 6 year old children. It includes a variety of ‘play-based’ experiences that lay the foundation for learning mathematics. Background explanations are provided along with the associated language to use when providing young children with the experiences. While children are participating in these experiences they will be developing fine and gross motor skills.

This well illustrated book will help teachers draw the most from the mathematical experiences. Some examples of experiences are using jigsaws, sand & water play, construction and cooking. Most of the activities are built around ubiquitous manipulatives.

The Check the Clues A,B,C,D & E books by Dr Paul Swan and David Dunstan offer schools a whole school approach to word problem solving using a co-operative group approach. The books have been designed to improve the students’ comprehension of mathematics word problems, and to build mathematical understanding through problem solving and reasoning. The Check the Clues series uses Polya’s four step problem solving approach: understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan and look back. Teachers are provided with the Australian Curriculum links, language (vocabulary), notes, answers and references.

Designed to help young children learn key early number concepts while playing simple card games, this book will give you plenty of ideas to use Child Friendly Playing Cards for a wide range of mathematical activities.

Young children enjoy playing card games but sometimes are confused by all of the extraneous information depicted on a standard playing card.
