Resources to support home learning
The following resources were created during th Covid-19 Lockdown. However, we feel many of them are still helpful when supporting your child with home learning.
- Using Read Aloud and Dictation using Microsoft Edge on PC and Laptops
- Using Read Aloud and Dictation on iPad using Microsoft Edge
- Supporting your child with English
- Refusing to do work
- Parent's financial concerns
- Parental Well-being
- Online safety
- Managing poor behaviour
- Long term mental health issues for children
- Concentration
On the left you will find tabs which hold resources that you may find helpful for supporting your children with the home learning. These are split into:
English - resources to use for a range of needs/abilities within English including word banks and writing scaffolds
Maths - virtual manipulatives, printable resources and links to websites that help explain the learning
Organisation and engagement - task management boards, visual timetables and reward systems that mirror those used in school to motivate and engage children in their learning
Sensory Circuits - links to videos for sensory circuits at home and some provided by Federation teachers for calming and alerting
Wellbeing - ideas to help and support wellbeing during the time of home learning
I have also included 2 videos on this page that explain how to get the computer or iPad to read the webpages/documents to the children (this does not work on PDF) and how children can use a dictation tool to reduce the writing load.
We hope you find these resources useful.
