Climb aboard for a multisensory exploration of Indian culture told through the eyes of a train passenger.
A multisensory story is told using sensory stimuli (props).
The story props are low budget, everyday items found around the home, garden, outdoor areas and in the classroom.
This story includes themed, sensory extension activities that link to the EYFS Framework and areas of the KS1 National Curriculum making them the perfect resource for Special Education (aged 3-19) EYFS, Mainstream Primary, Speech & Language and EAL students.
What are the Benefits of Multisensory Storytelling?
Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences.
Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way.
The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets.
The activities in the stories are designed to promote communication skills: (eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development), self-confidence & well-being (trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care & independence and enjoying achievement), self-awareness: (asking for ‘help’, ‘again’ and ‘more’), present opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills, promote physical development: (fine & gross motor skills), build knowledge about the environment & the world around us, to engage in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts and to develop social & emotional skills: (turn-taking & sharing and teamwork).
The sensory stimuli (story props) are a tool for the story explorer to explore and express their likes, dislikes and sensory preferences and to have the opportunity to make choices.
This information can be used to identify motivators or items to calm and individual when anxious, tired or stressed, identify triggers, (some you may wish to avoid, others to work on building tolerance through desensitisation in a safe and therapeutic environment) and used in the writing of care plans to enhance areas daily life.

Number matching visual memory game for children of all ages.
A quick, fun game which can be used to build visual memory, colour and number recognition, and vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.
Develops visual perception, attentiveness and reaction.
Instructions included for four games but can be used in many other ways for matching and memory games.
There are no words on the cards so this game works in any language.
A valuable resource for the classroom, home learning, after school clubs, childcare settings, etc.
EXAMPLE GAME:
To introduce the game to children who’ve never played before, take two cards from the set, put them face-up in front of all players and ask the children to find the identical number on both cards. The first player who finds the right number names it out loud and keeps both cards. The procedure repeats until everyone understands the game.
A fully interactive and contemporary PPT designed for KS3 classes. Can be adapted to GCSE/High Ability learners. LO's adapted from Bloom's Taxonomy and differentiation/maths embedding is included throughout.
Sessions for study skills revision.
I split these sessions in to 5 morning tutors.
1- study skills revision
2 - Relaxation / How to handle stress and revision timetable
3 - Examples of visual learning
4 - Auditory and Kinesthetic Methods
5 - How to answer the question and How do you like to learn? (here I would ask the students to complete a VAK assessment that I downloaded off the internet, they could then see their learning styles but I would then explain about multi-sensory methods.

Maths ID is a complete essential numeracy programme for Entry Level learners, which links to the numeracy curriculum and also features a summative assessment.
These progress tests are for use with mathsid.com, where you can access interactive practice material to support them. They are intended for teachers to evidence progress to learners and to other stakeholders.
New for 2021, mathsid.com features an improved interactive quiz format.
Our intention is for Maths ID to become an accredited qualification. We believe it provides the platform teachers need to facilitate good teaching at this level, in a way that current alternatives (most notably Functional Skills) do not.
At least until accreditation is achieved, the programme is free to use.
