IRISH GCSE REVISION – SELF, FAMILY & FRIENDS, LEISURE & DAILY ACTIVITIES (The Language Gym – Sentence Builder Books)
This book is meant as a revision resource for GCSE Irish. It can be used independently by students as well as for teacher-directed classroom practice. It contains 16 units which focus mainly on the themes: myself, family and relationships, daily activities, my role model, hobbies and leisure.Each unit consists of a knowledge organiser recapping the target sentence patterns and lexical items, a series of receptive vocabulary building activities; a set of narrow reading texts and activities; a set of translation tasks. The tasks are graded in order to pose an increasingly demanding but manageable cognitive load and challenge and are based on Dr Conti’s P.I.P.O. framework:
Pre-reading tasks (activation of prior knowledge and pre-teaching)
In-reading tasks (intensive exploitation of texts)
Post-reading tasks (consolidation)
Output (pushed-output tasks)Consistent with Dr Conti’s E.P.I. approach, each of the 16 units in the book provide extensive recycling of the target lexical items both within each unit and throughout the book, across all the dimensions of receptive and productive processing, i.e.: orthography (single letters and syllables), lexis (both words and chunks), grammar/syntax (with much emphasis on functional and positional processing), meaning and discourse.
The recycling occurs through input-flooding and forced retrieval through a wide range of engaging, tried and tested, classic Conti tasks (more than 20 per unit). These include student favourites such as slalom writing, faulty translation, spot the missing detail, sentence puzzles, etc.Table of contents

Let’s Sign and DOWN SYNDROME: Signs for Children with Special Needs
This collection of British Sign Language (BSL) Signs provides a Core Vocabulary starting point for learners, with 280 signs arranged in topics essential to everyday experiences rather than ‘stages’ which may not match the diverse needs of all its users.

This is not only relevant for children and young people with Down Syndrome but is equally beneficial to the estimated 6 – 8% of children between the ages of 0 – 11 who have additional speech, language and communication needs.
The engaging line drawings with written descriptions give clear details of handshapes and movements with particular attention to the face, a crucial element in all of our communication and for children and young people with additional language and communication needs in particular.
The topics include: Manners, Family/People, Animals, Vehicles, Food, Home, Feelings/Health, School/Instructions, Colours/Descriptions, Weather/Outside, Time/Days, Questions/Link Words.

On the Write Track: A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing in Primary Schools
On the Write Track puts teachers’ autonomy and their knowledge of what is right for their pupils at the heart of teaching writing. It explores a set of research-based principles, before illustrating these with case studies and examples of classroom practice.
Writing is about communication. Learning to write gives children a voice that others will listen to – a voice they can use to share their ideas, articulate their feelings, amuse and delight their readers and argue for what they believe in.
While every child, every teacher and every classroom are different, approaches to teaching writing can sometimes feel prescriptive, whether they are based on a particular curriculum model, commercial scheme, assessment system or underlying philosophy.
This book provides freedom and choice by introducing a series of ‘tracks’ for writing teaching, including practical approaches to:
-
- Building a community of writers in the classroom
- Employing a process-led sequence for teaching writing
- Encouraging children to write for pleasure and share their own interests
- Exploring the use of rich and diverse texts as fuel for writing
- Drawing on spoken language and oracy to develop written communication
- Teaching grammar and punctuation to support writing
- Utilising feedback to help children develop their writing voice
- Using drama and play as starting points for writing
Through considering these different tracks and thinking about how to weave them together into a coherent whole, teachers can help every child to make the journey to being a confident, skilled, keen writer.
