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.

Supporting your child with their handwriting
I have just put the handwriting bundle live inside the membership group, but I thought I'd share the video with you as there might be some suggestions in there that you would find helpful when working with your own child.
Things like playing noughts and crosses but using letters instead of the traditional symbols, completing mazes or dot-to-dots. Creating wordsearches for someone else to solve as having to concentrate on each individual letter will help to create it more neatly.
The overriding message is to start with a small target (such as a letter, word or sentence) and build up rather than starting with a huge paragraph and the concentration and skill fading off before the end.
I hope you find it helpful.
