They're much more comfortable to wear and so easy to make. <br /><br />One of the schools I used to teach in used some of their budget to pay for every year six child to have one-to-one with an additional teacher employed to address specific problems in either literacy or numeracy. The problem was identified by the child not the class teacher, unless the child couldn't decide, and every child had time with this extra teacher at least once a fortnight until SATS was completed. It made a tremendous difference to their confidence and improvements in understanding were noticeable. I believe the school carried on with this the next academic year.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-40184204722368850622020-03-07T14:03:20.818+00:002020-03-07T14:03:20.818+00:00YouTube is great if you need some instruction.
