This book outlines how to best support these children who require extra help, offering concrete, easy-to-implement activities and resources for use in small groups, to maximise the impact on learning and open up access to the curriculum.
Word Aware 3:
- Takes a highly practical, evidence-based and curriculum-focused approach to vocabulary learning that supports a broad range of learners

A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment for Severe, Complex and Profound Learning Disabilities (Connecting Research with Practice in Special and Inclusive Education)
A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD.
Split into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist) schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national, or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we should be teaching them differently.
Reflecting the centrality of process over product, this book will clearly explain how each individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.

SEND Huh: curriculum conversations with SEND leaders
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.

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

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!”

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.”

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 topics include: Manners, Family/People, Animals, Vehicles, Food, Home, Feelings/Health, School/Instructions, Colours/Descriptions, Weather/Outside, Time/Days, Questions/Link Words.

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.

We hope you read this story of Gale and the Baby with your kids, learn to sign together, and have some fun!
Who we are?
We’re Duy and Hien, the husband and wife behind Nightingale.
