Dyscalculia and dyslexia assessor. I provide INSET around SpLDs. Very lucky step-nanny. Often reading about medieval women.

I want to post some thoughts for anyone Christmassing with older relatives who notices things being a bit odd this year. It’s a common time to recognise some dementia symptoms in someone you love, because we all get together for several days instead of just a few hours

Reminder that if you ever need a meal and can't afford it, find your local gurudwara, they will feed you a great hot meal for free, you won't even have to fetch a plate for yourself and they'll also give you a place to crash if you don't have one and there's room. gurudwara is open to all always

Oh very no. Someone somewhere save Sesame Street.
HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio.

Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

Before you even think about teaching a child to form letters with a pen/pencil it helps to see if they can do basic patterns such as lines and wiggles. These wipe clean circles stick (and re-stick) onto any surface and are lots of fun to practise on. #EduSkyPrimary
