There are many reasons why a child may appear to not be listening in class. These are all distractions and challenges they are learning to identify and manage, and not a behaviour they should be punished for. #dearteacher #distractions #challenges #classroombehavior #adhd #adhdsupport #adhdproblems #adhdawareness #learningdifficulties #learningchallenges

Today is the beginning of #dyslexiaawarenessmonth while it would be fantastic if the world were dyslexia aware every day if the year, October is the month we celebrate the strengths and gifts that come with being dyslexic. And also importantly spreading awareness and knowledge about #dyslexia #dyslexic #dyslexicthinking #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexiaadvocate #dyslexicthinking #dyslexiaeducation #literacymatters #literacycenters #literacyforall #reading

Boom! Science! This amazing little human is only 1/2 way through grade 2 and look at the solid work he is pumping out. I cannot stress enough how important explicit instruction is when it comes to teaching reading. #multisensorylearning #multisensorystructuredlanguage #multisensoryteaching #literacy #literacymatters #literacycenters #literacyforall #scienceofreadinginstruction #scienceofreading #centralcoastliteracy #marinerscentreofexcellence #littlechamp #reading #explicitinstruction

Just think how many lives could be changed if more educators knew about dyslexia, how to identify it in students & teach them. #dyslexia #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexiaintervention #dyslexic #dyslexicadvantage #dyslexiasupport #madebydyslexia #literacymatters #literacycenters #educationaltherapist

After a loooong day in the clinic i like to get in the car and blast me some tunes. Today’s tunes is a throwback from a band I used to listen to during art class when I was back in high school. It’s a groovy little number that I hope will give me the boost to get me through till bed time 🤪😴 #tunes #oldschool #music #sonicanimation #literacy #educator #dyslexia #literacymatters #literacycentre #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexiatherapy #tuggerah #marinerscenter

How awesome is this! @bigwaustralia and their free books for kids program this week are handing out one of my favourite books as a kid. @sesamestreet The monster at the end of this book. Fun fact my parents still have this book today it’s over 40 years old and has been read and loved by their 5 children and 8 grand children. While the hard board cover of the golden book may now resemble something of an ancient script & the pages show the signs of ware and tear the book remains held together with love & memories. The funnest part of this story is reading it out loud in grovers voice! #childhoodmemories #sesamestreet #grover #themonsterattheendofthisbook #bigw #freebooksforkids #literacy #literacymatters #literacycoaches #educationaltherapist #dyslexia #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexiaeducation #dyslexiatherapy #dyslexiaadvocate #tuggerah #marinerscentreofexcellence

ADHD is so very real and just simply giving a person with ADHD a pill does not mean they are “fixed”. Imagine trying to watch television when the reception is dodgy. You miss parts of the show, you are trying to figure out what is going on, you get frustrated and eventually give up, turn the TV off and walk away. Now imagine that that television is a teacher in a classroom and it’s not a show but a class. Our little people struggle every day in the classroom with dodgy reception. That is until we get a diagnosis. However, when medicated, it can allow for moments of clarity but it does not mean they automatically know what’s happening in “the show” sometimes they have missed 3-4 seasons and now they have to catch up, and they have to do so with no access to on demand programs. Students and people with ADHD are far from stupid. Some of the most creative and wonderful minds in the world have ADHD. What we must do is give those students time to catch up and not be ignorant to the diagnosis. Medication will not make their brain functioning change over night. It is not a snap of the fingers and suddenly they are are appropriate with their learning. It is up to us to accomodate and adapt our environments to allow them to blossom and shine. #learning #learningdifference #specificlearningdifficulties #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdproblems #adhdbrain #adhdsupport #literacymatters #literacycentre #learningforlife
