What age group or academic levels does the membership cater to?

 

The Clara James Approach is primarily aimed at children of primary age, typically 5-11 years old. However, it can also be a helpful resource for those in the early years of secondary school who may benefit from strengthening foundational skills.

 

The membership includes a wide range of resources covering essential topics such as phonics, times tables, an introduction to algebra, and negative numbers, as well as language skills like suffixes, prefixes, and homophones.

 

In addition to academic resources, the Clara James Approach offers a short course on understanding dyslexia to help parents better support their children’s learning needs.

We also feature themed resources, like beach and jungle activities, which include fun, hands-on crafts to make learning even more engaging beyond board games.

 

With over 50 resource bundles currently available, and a new one added every month, there’s always something fresh to explore. And if there’s ever a specific resource you’d like to see, just let us know—we’ll do our best to include it for you.

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
