The Clara James Approach to learning
When it comes to learning we are all individuals.
The past 20+ years have taught me that no matter our learning style if the child is engaged and relaxed they are more likely to learn.
If we just keep giving them the same resources, varied over and over again, all we are doing is giving them one place in their brains to find the information. However, by giving them a variety of resources we can make it more interesting, more relevant, and help them to create multiple memories so that when they need to recall the information, they have more places they can go to in order to find it.
If we can boost their confidence as well as their knowledge we will make their life and ours easier.
For 20 years now I've been fascinated by different learning styles: ASD, Dyslexia, ADHD. The purpose of this podcast is to share my findings with you, so that maybe what I've learned will be of help to you too.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
One of the comments I think I hear more than any other is that of parents concern that if they explain something differently to how the teacher has explained it, it will just confuse their child further.
But I think we all need someone in our lives who will explain things differently, in a way that makes sense to us rather than just the generic masses.
I hope this short podcast offers the reassurance you need if this is you
