Reading, Phonics, and Dyslexic Profile with Charlie...

The SENDcast ·

2022/06/30

Phonics have been around for years and are successful, BUT they don’t work for all pupils, and they aren’t the only way to teach reading. Only 75% of children leave KS1 able to read well enough to access KS2 effectively (91% passed the phonic screen by Y2) * The ultimate goal is for children to have a bank of words in their long-term memory that they can read fluently when they see them, and phonics is a part of that journey. If you don’t ‘get phonics’ by the end of year one the chances of

2022/06/16

Trigger warning – this podcast discusses self-harm which is a difficult subject, but has never been more important to address. Self-harm is when someone hurts themselves as a way of dealing with very difficult feelings, painful memories or overwhelming situations and experiences. They may feel a short-term sense of release but the cause of the distress is unlikely to have gone away. In this emotive podcast Alison Knowles joins me to discuss ‘What drives our youngsters to self-harm’. During the

Homework - Risk and Return with Fintan O'Regan

The SENDcast ·

2022/05/05

Research shows that it takes 3 times as long for a student with ADHD to do the same piece of work at home as in school. The school day alone can be exhausting for pupils with SEND and then they might be expected to attend clubs, interact with family, eat their meal AND complete their homework when they get home. Are we expecting too much? The result could be detrimental to their mental health: “I think it's disadvantaging more in terms of self-esteem and attitude, because when they go in next
