I am a homeschooling mum of a 7 year old child with Asperger’s (and a range of other SEN), as well as a former secondary school/SEN teacher. Gaming is a particular interest of my child, as well as a great many other children, so I figured it would be good to use the topic as a motivational tool to support further learning. It has gone down well with him, so I figured that perhaps others may benefit from it too! I am only just getting started with selling my resources so I would be very grateful for any feedback.

When I taught the City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training, I found there was an absence of lesson plans/activities to accompany the delivery of the course. Most of the course participants were busy professionals with a high level of existing skills and knowledge, but they often struggled to pinpoint what content was needed in order to evidence the criteria in the written assignments. I created a series of workbooks for each of the 3 units of the award to act as classroom activities to complete during the course, to act as a reference point for learners when completing their written assignments, and to complement the evidence portfolio if any of the criteria had been missed in the body of the written assignments. This is a 22-page workbook to accompany the teaching of City and Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training, based on the criteria in unit 305.

Autism is a very common condition and many children on the autistic spectrum will be educated in mainstream schools. Sometimes autistic behaviours can be confusing or frightening for neurotypical children who do not understand. It can often be difficult for teachers to explain to their classes, and also difficult for parents to explain to their ASD children. So I created this child-friendly sheet to explain autism in a positive but open manner, to hopefully help classmates be more accepting of diversity, to exercise more compassion and empathy towards those who struggle and to promote an inclusive learning environment. It is aimed at KS2 pupils (7-11) but could also be read aloud to KS1 kids or given to older pupils. The information sheet is free to download, but I am charging a small amount for the comprehension questions that accompany it. I am a homeschooling mum of a 7 year old child with Asperger’s Syndrome/ASD (and a range of other SEN), as well as a former secondary school/SEN teacher, so this is a topic that is close to my heart!

I am in the process of developing a series of spelling activities to aid children in the learning of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1 word list. I have seen many US ‘sight word’ worksheets of a similar style, but have not found any resources specifically tailored to the UK national curriculum, so I thought I would create these myself. I am releasing a free sample of the booklet in order to see how much demand there is for it, and to gather feedback on what I have done so far. These worksheets are intended as an additional resource to support children in learning their weekly school spellings, home educated children who do not have weekly spelling tests, pupils who need to practice letter formation and to support older students with gaps in their spelling knowledge. The contents page in the free sample details all the words that the full, completed booklet will contain. I also plan to develop Key Stage 2 materials in future (depending on the success/demand of the Key Stage 1 materials).
