I’m thrilled to announce that Katecho “Echo” has joined the family over Christmas 🎄! We’re in training right now, and I hope he’ll be able to join us for some tutoring or playdates at Tutor with Lillian 🐶. He’s an 11-week-old cavoodle and is very well behaved. I’m hoping to train him as a therapy dog so he can help me assist others. He loves crinkle sounds like leaves and his teddy!

Adventurous literacy experiences are all about diving into exciting books and exploring different worlds, cultures, and mysteries. It's like going on thrilling journeys and to do this we may have to look into The Simple View of Reading. ✨ Like a magical key that unlocks the amazing world of reading. It's all about two super important skills: decoding and comprehension.

Imagine, if someone's decoding skills were not the best, for example dyslexic students, they might still have awesome language comprehension but struggle with reading the written word.

And hey, if someone's language comprehension isn't top-notch, like hyperlexic students, they might be able to decode words like a champ but have a bit of trouble understanding what they read or hear.

Pretty cool, right? It all comes down to the connection between the mastery of the code and unravelling the meaning to successfully embark on the adventurous world of literacy! 📚✨

Here are a handful of helpful hints on how to create a reliable routine for kids! 💤⚡️💥

1. Set consistent wake-up and bedtime schedules: Having a regular sleep routine can help children with special needs feel more rested and ready for the day.

2. Create a visual schedule: Use pictures or symbols to outline the daily activities and tasks. This visual aid can provide a clear structure and help your child understand what to expect throughout the day.

3. Incorporate sensory breaks: If your child benefits from sensory breaks, schedule regular breaks throughout the day to engage in calming or stimulating activities that cater to their sensory needs.

4. Plan designated study or homework time: Set aside a specific time each day for your child to focus on their schoolwork. This can help them develop good study habits and maintain consistency in their learning routine.

Remember, every child is unique, so feel free to tailor the routine to your child’s specific needs and preferences. 😊📚

BIMDAS BIDMAS BODMAS

The Mnemonic stands for: brackets, indices/order, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction. This Order of Operations is learnt in year 6 in Australia and essential to obtain a correct answer and solve any equation. The foundations of this skill is developed from the very beginning of mathematical practice with the basic 4 operations which are add, subtract, multiply and divide.

If your child is in high school and struggling with Algebra, they may need to go back this Order of Operations (BIMDAS BIDMAS BODMAS) or even back to the basics of addition subtraction multiplication and division. Those last two operations can be tricky sometimes!
