Amy is starting a new school and she knows it's the perfect chance
for a fresh start. She's determined not to let anyone know about
her epilepsy, not even her new best friend. But what will happen
when her secret is revealed? Reflect is a series of emotionally
powerful fiction and non-fiction with realistic settings, carefully
crafted to promote thoughtful discussions and develop higher-level
reading comprehension. Written by top authors and developed with
Literacy expert Nikki Gamble, these are books you can trust to
engage, entertain and support children's personal development and
wellbeing. The books are finely levelled, making it easy to match
every child to books with the right depth and complexity, and
helping them to progress. Each book contains inside cover notes to
help children deepen their understanding and support their reading
comprehension. Teaching notes on Oxford Owl offer cross-curricular
links to Relationships Education and support literacy skills.
Meet Mollie - a woman with an illness called ME (Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis) or CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and her
family, Mike, Ellie and Eric. Mollie and her family help readers to
understand what ME/CFS is, what it is like to have it and how it
can affect their family life. Mollie can't always do things that
other mums do because of her illness, which can sometimes be
frustrating, but they share strategies that help them all to cope.
The family also explain how ME/CFS can affect different people in
different ways. This illustrated book is an ideal introduction to
this often misunderstood condition. It shows family, friends and
anyone who knows someone with the condition how they can support
someone with ME/CFS, and their family.
Playful Learning Lab for Kids is a hands-on activity book that
offers games and activities that revolve around the senses and
concepts in reading, math, art, and science. Recent research has
shown that children learn and develop new skills more quickly when
they engage in playful, whole body activities. Movement allows them
to refocus their attention, improves brain function, reduces
stress, and improves circulation. Not only that, but the more
senses that are used for learning, the more likely information is
to be stored and retrieved. The activities in Playful Learning Lab
for Kids explore concepts in reading, language, math, art, music,
science, geography, and social studies, all while engaging children
with movements, touch, sound, and sight. Most distinguishing of
all, the activities and lessons here include suggestions for
tailoring the experience to different levels, making it a book
children can grow with. The skills range from visual perceptual
skills and spatial awareness, to early geometry concepts, visual
motor integration, and fine motor skills. Authors Claire Heffron
and Lauren Drobnjak, pediatric occupational and physical therapists
with years of experience in clinical and school-based settings,
share their best tips and strategies for helping little learners
reach their fullest potential through these engaging and fun
activities. The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list
of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host
of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even
how to create your own circus-all authored by established experts
in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear
step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished
samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a
yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are
open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with
different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults,
they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain
firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.
Gathering the artistic talents of Asperkids and artists from around
the world, as well as her own original artwork, Jennifer O'Toole
has created a one-of-a-kind coloring book that's educational, fun
and above all a celebration of difference! We all know that
children with Asperger syndrome are far more likely to learn and
enjoy themselves when their special interests are involved, and the
color-in drawings in this book cover a wide range of subjects that
Aspies love. We're talking mythology, atomic structures, nature,
historical fashions, and more! Full of cool art, geeky humor, and
inspirational quotations, this is a coloring book for all ages that
celebrates the unapologetic awesomeness of Asperkids. A proportion
of the proceeds will go towards supporting arts programs for
children on the autism spectrum.
