1. ACE Dictionary

The ACE Spelling Dictionary includes updated and

extended vocabulary, more alternative spellings,

more plural forms and more ‘sound-alike’ words with

meanings. The middle section is a darker blue to make

it easier to fi nd the right page. It is clear that pupils with

spelling diffi culties often experience problems with the

whole curriculum and lose confi dence with writing. The

ACE Spelling Dictionary breaks through these problems.

Using the unique 2-page index spread, pupils need only

think how a word sounds to fi nd out how to spell it. By

simply identifying the fi rst vowel sound, the speller is sent

instantly to the page where the problem word is found.

The easy-to-use reference system will tempt them to use

more interesting words in their writing, enabling them to

produce work that they can be proud of. Both patterns

and irregularities are highlighted in the dictionary so that

pupils learn to spell incidentally. The dictionary includes

a clear step-by-step guide to effective teaching with the

dictionary, over 20,000 words, a comprehensive list of

commonly misspelt words and further learning strategies

for spelling. Contains 328 pages (168 x 246mm).

Age Suitability: 6 Years +

ECMT11592 £ 16.95

2. Advanced ACE Spelling Pocket Dictionary

The Advanced ACE Spelling Dictionary is a companion

volume to the ACE Spelling Dictionary. It retains all the

assets of the standard dictionary, along with some

added extras.

The Advanced ACE is smaller and more transportable,

easy to carry from lesson to lesson, making for a more

compact reference guide. The coverage of the dictionary

has been extended so that it goes right up to degree

level, with the addition of a further 3000 words. We’ve

also highlighted up to 4000 high-frequency words to cut

down on the time spent looking for them.

The Advanced ACE Spelling Dictionary has a unique

index based on the principles of the ACE Spelling

Dictionary. The user need only think how a word sounds

in order to fi nd out how to spell it. Once the fi rst vowel

sound has been identifi ed, the user will be directed to

the page where they will fi nd the word they are looking

for. As with the ACE Spelling Dictionary, patterns and

irregularities are highlighted, and clear guidance on the

use of the dictionary are included. Contains 512 pages

(114 x 162mm). Age Suitability: 9 Years +

3. ACE Spelling Activities

Following the success of the ACE Spelling Dictionary,

you with a further resource to reinforce and extend your

pupils’ word skills. The 75 pupil worksheets - including

lively and fun approach to spelling, through crosswords,

puzzles and spelling games. They cover tricky word

endings, spellings for sounds, searching for patterns and

much more. ACE Spelling Activities also includes a clear

step-by-step approach to using the dictionary effectively,

plus a comprehensive list of commonly misspelt words

with further strategies to help your pupils learn to spell

them correctly. Contains 136 fully photocopiable A4

pages, including teacher’s notes.

and consulted as needed. As part of the ACE range of

spelling resources, the Word Bank is an easy-to-use

reference tool that pupils can customise for their own

needs. With an increasing focus on correct spelling in the

new National Curriculum the ACE Spelling Word Bank is

ideal for those needing extra support in this area. Each

book has 32 pages. Pack of 5.

The Stile Tray is the key to self checking activities. Pupils answer the questions by matching the tiles directly over

the answers in the clear lid of the tray. They then close the tray, turn it over, and re-open it to reveal a geometric

pattern, which should match the one printed at the top of the exercise. A highly motivating way to learn!

Differentiating for Inclusion: Target Ladders Every class includes a number of pupils whose learning needs are greater than, or different from, those of the rest of the class. All teachers should be able to identify targets to use as the baseline for intervention and to help those children to make appropriate progress in small steps so as to feel a sense of achievement. However, many teachers in mainstream primary schools don’t know what the next ‘target’ should be. They know what the child can’t do, but they often don’t know how to express that as a target. Each book comes with a CD of photocopiable material, inculding targets pages and records of progress templates.

Ideal for Teaching Assistants as the book offers

easy activities to follow. The exercises are clear,

population so there’s likely to be at least one

person with the condition in every school class

1. How To Increase the Potential of Students with DCD (Dyspraxia) in Secondary School

The structure of secondary education demands that

young people are well-organised, self-suffi cient,

increasingly autonomous learners, who can cope

with a wide range of teachers and a diverse

timetable based around multiple locations and

buildings. However, a substantial number of young

people have motor co-ordination and perceptual

diffi culties which affect their participation in class

activities. This condition was previously termed

‘dyspraxia’ but is now more universally referred to

as ‘developmental co-ordination disorder’ or DCD.

For these pupils, poor handwriting, erratic

organisation and diffi culties with reading,

mathematics and physical education may have

been noted at primary school with their associated

detrimental effect on academic success, peer

relationships, social skills and self-confi dence.

However, these issues are felt more keenly in

secondary school due to the desire to ‘fi t in’ and

be accepted by a potentially large and often

unforgiving peer group.

This book will provide readers with an insight into

how DCD can affect students at Key Stages 3 and

4, and provide some practical strategies to help

each young person to reach their potential.

This book is intended to inspire teachers and health

care professionals to:

Roar the Dinosaur

This beautiful series of picture books introduces Roar,

the brave and strong little dinosaur who knows it’s

okay to do things differently. Roar books and resources

have been specially created to help children with high-

functioning Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome and those who

live and work with them. Just like Roar, children with

autism think in a different way.

The enchanting books invite children, parents/carers

and professionals to celebrate the strengths of children

with Asperger’s. Roar has many great qualities including

honesty, determination, attention to detail, exceptional

memory and a sense of humour. Roar helps children

move from feeling, “I’ve got it wrong!” to saying, “This is

me. I’m okay.”

Roar is the main character in each book, alongside a

family member and her supportive friend. She uses her

special talents and likes to be busy, but enjoys taking a

break by hiding – just as children with Asperger’s fi nd

joining in can be hard work and like to take a break,

perhaps by doing a simple activity on their own; routine

and ritual restore an overloaded mind.

While created for those on the autistic spectrum,

Roar’s zest for life will appeal to children and families

everywhere!

Full colour throughout, written in rhyming verse, with 36

pages in each book. Size: 210 x 148mm.

reassuring book, Dave Sherratt offers a valuable insight

Asperger syndrome and other conditions sometimes

associated with autism. He explains the fundamental

principles that underlie successful teaching for children

on the autism spectrum, and suggests a wealth of

strategies and activities for developing skills in key areas.

In just eight weekly sessions, Speed Up! provides a multi-

sensory course of help for any child aged 8-13 whose

handwriting is illegible, slow or lacking in fl uency. Poor

handwriting hinders many children’s progress - right

across the curriculum. Unfortunately, most handwriting

schemes do little to help children who are struggling

with this vital skill. Here, at last, is a new and highly

effective approach. Developed by a leading paediatric

occupational therapist and designed specifi cally for older

children struggling with handwriting, Speed Up! gets to

the root of writing diffi culties by developing kinaesthetic

awareness through multi-sensory activity and exercise.

teaching, this book explains that there is something distinctive about the needs of

EAL learners and offers a range of practical ideas and strategies to support this

area of work.

Ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity should be recognised as an asset to be

respected and celebrated. This book will help you to achieve this. Contains 64 A4
