About Me

I trained as a teacher at C.F. Mott College of Education and began my teaching career at a primary school in Abbey Wood, London in 1969. I taught here for 8 years before leaving to have children. I returned to teaching part time in 1989 after a long gap. In 1995 I gained an RSA Diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties. I was teaching children either individually or in small groups who had reading and spelling difficulties until I retired in 2005.

Although I found many useful published resources to help the children, very few provided the very small steps and variety of games and learning aids that the children with severe difficulties needed. I started compiling my own resources on the computer after making them by hand for some time. There were then a greater variety of aids and games for children who needed a lot of input for each sound group.

I am a member of Bexley PATOSS [Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties.)
