I am so excited to tell you about this. (Normally my emotions are relatively insipid, but this is something I am incredibly excited about. With so much disruption in children's education over the past couple of years, ever increasing class sizes, and changing life styles, more and more people have decided to try and educate their own children. To complement school or as an alternative to school. Some have sought outside help; others have battled on alone.

Would it be easier to find inspiration if the work is presented in a way that was creative and fun? 20 years ago, when I started my journey into education, my early experience was in early years and learning difficulties. It quickly became clear that most children don’t learn through worksheets and textbooks. They learn when they are inspired, actively involved and motivated. Each time we do something we create a memory. If we consistently use the same teaching technique, we are creating one memory but making it stronger. Giving the brain only has one place to go to find the information that it needs. However, if you use a range of resources, you will create multiple memories and the brain will have more places to go to where it can find the required information. By using a variety of resources, you are also incorporating more learning styles: visual, audible, kinaesthetic. Although most people may feel they have a preference to one.

By using a variety you are once again stimulating more places in the brain.   The Clara James Approach is a membership group where you will be given fantastic resources to help your child or a child that you are working with to enjoy both maths and English in creative and fun ways. Every month you will be given a series of resources to support your child and help their confidence grow. So, for example, January we will looked at negative numbers. There were explanations, board games (the board game, the dotty board, game, snakes and ladders) and more. There is also be a Facebook group where you can talk to and share ideas with other parents who are wanting to support their child in the same way that you are. There will also be a monthly Q&A where I will be available to answer any questions that you have.   With 20% of the UK population diagnosed as having dyslexia 700,000 are believed to have some form of autism 3-4% of children in the UK are believed to have ADHD More and more people are working with or have children who have some form of learning difficulty and not sure how best to help them. The approach we use here, the resources available have been used in and successful in these circumstances time and time again over the past 10 years. They will help you.
