1. Forest of Feelings

Winner of the practical pre-school and good toy

award wittern by Carol Holliday and Jo Browning

Wroe. This innovative and unique understanding

children’s emotions in the context of the classroom

refl ects the signifi cant developments in this fi eld

since the original was fi rst published in 2004, and

the greater understanding that now exists of the

importance of social, emotional and relational

aspects of learning.

The book includes recent fi ndings from research

interviews with teachers about what works with

teacher/child relationships and how different

ways of working can lead to more confi dence and

satisfaction; and less anxiety and stress.

The beautifully illustrated and enchanting

story about Ben’s quest to save a forest is now

supported by an expanded Introduction on

emotional wellbeing, together with additional

material in each of the sections focused on a

different tribe of emotions: angry, sad, fearful,

jealous and happy feelings. Each of these sections

now offers a deeper and broader understanding

of the nature of these feelings and how to work

with them through additional teacher’s notes

and creative activities, together with activities for

circle time. 108 pages. Winner of Play Matters and

Practical Pre-school (Merit) awards.

2. How To Increase the Potential of 6WXGHQWV�ZLWK�'&'��'\VSUD[LD��LQ�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:

1. Educating Children and Young People with FASD

The range of learning diffi culties associated with children

who have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) have

been highlighted as an emerging but little understood

area of Special Education Needs. Current prevalence rates

suggest that 1 in 100 children have FASD, yet within the

educational arena there has been almost no attention paid

to the very specifi c learning needs of students with FASD.

Barriers to learning for students with FASD include

distractibility, hyperactivity, poor short term memory,

sensory processing diffi culties, diffi culties understanding

abstract concepts, social communication diffi culties and

diffi culty in generalising information from one situation to

another.

This engaging, practical book provides a range of practical

construct personalised learning pathways for students with

FASD in order to improve outcomes. Contains 112 pages.

1. Successful School Transition

The transition from primary to secondary school can be one of the most dramatic and demanding

changes in a child’s education. This practical book sheds light on the nature of the problems children

often encounter, as well as the issues that schools need to address to make for a smooth transition.

The author uses her experience of running transition projects in Newham, London, to provide you with a

programme of workshops to show children in Years 6 and 7 how to refl ect on their learning preferences,

develop new friendships, enhance social skills and be safe in a new environment. Written for any

professional involved in helping children through such a period of change, the book includes detailed

teaching sessions, advice on handling diffi cult issues and ways of fostering relationships between

primary and secondary schools. There is a wealth of photocopiable material, including details on how to

A practical guide to supporting children and young

people making transitions at all stages of their school

lives, whether they are moving within or between

schools, or to sixth-form college or away from home.

business of learning, rather than using that same energy

in dealing with orientation, friendship and learning-style

issues.

With sections on understanding transitions, creating

a Personal Learning Profi le, and how to plan and run

transition events, as well as a wide range of inclusive

activities customised especially for different types of

transition, this book will give you everything you need to

give pupils the best possible chance of success. Contains

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.

recognise and modify their own emotional responses.

why emotions can change and predicting emotional

responses. Comprehensive teacher’s notes offer detailed

instructions for each activity, prompt questions and

further activity ideas. The beautifully illustrated activity

sheets are suitable for all ages and include drawing, cut
