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.
Dr Wendy Uttley’s introduction, guidelines, practice sentences and early language development activities, clearly outline how the use of signs and speech together can help language and communication develop, pointing out the benefits and enjoyment it can bring to all involved.
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.
The contents are further supported by the LET’S SIGN BSL Series of dictionaries, posters and flashcards and reward stickers from Let’sSign.co.uk The sign graphics are also available on licence to create your own materials and can be used with the excellent Widgit software packages and comprehensive collection of pictures and symbols from widgit.comRead more

The 60 key-word vocabulary enables constructions in both British Sign Language (BSL) and Sign Supported English (SSE) and has been split into 5 colour-coded sets of 6 pairs for easy reference.

A Quiet Education: Challenging the extrovert ideal in our schools
‘A Quiet Education’ serves as an unashamed cheerleader for all that is quiet, challenging the myth that collaboration and noise should be at the heart of what happens in schools. It examines how we can ensure more introverted students and teachers can thrive and achieve their potential. It also explores why it is essential that all teachers begin to embrace quieter values: in their classrooms and management of behaviour; in sustaining their own wellbeing; in their desire to reflect meaningfully and improve as a teacher. The final section is an exploration of quieter skills: how we can strengthen our students’ metacognitive ability; their ability to listen, pay attention and focus; the quality of independent work we do in the classroom alongside how we can motivate all our students.Read more

Dyslexia Assessor Craig Keane, Director of Develop Us in Wales. “I’m a specialist dyslexia assessor and teacher. I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn’t expecting to learn much from the book because I’m a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!”
Katharine Beaumont, Dyslexia Tutor B.Ed.Sc.Dip.Tchg.CAT. “This book was like turning a light on for me. I’ve worked in the field of learning disabilities for years, and yet it has taught me so much. It’s full of humor, help, humility and hope.”
★★★★★ Anni, Amazon U.S.A reviewer. “While reading this book, I have several “Ah ha!” moments that explain my child’s behavior. The book made me feel I had confided all my concerns to her, and she gave me answers. I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many “whys?” and what I need to know about my child. This book helped me not just understand but strategize to get better results out of my child without draining a lot of energy.”

Huh is the Egyptian god of endlessness, creativity, fertility and regeneration. He is the deity Mary Myatt and John Tomsett have adopted as their god of the curriculum. Their Huh series of books focuses on how practitioners design the curriculum for the young people in their schools.
The Huh project is founded on conversations with colleagues doing great work across the education sector. In SEND Huh, Mary Myatt and John Tomsett discuss curriculum provision for pupils with additional needs with some of the leading experts in the field.
Mary and John interviewed pupils, parents, teachers, headteachers, CEOs, educational consultants and lecturers. They then edited the transcriptions of those interviews to provide an ambitious, thoughtful, nuanced and challenging vision of what the best possible provision looks like for children with additional learning needs.
The challenging conversations that comprise SEND Huh paint an inspiring picture that is hugely hopeful for the future of SEND curriculum provision in our schools.Read more
