A call to action that pulls together all of Sir Ken Robinson's key
messages and philosophies, and that challenges and empowers readers
to re-imagine our world, and our systems, for the better. Sir Ken
Robinson changed the lives of millions of people. The embodiment of
the prestigious TED conference, his TED Talks are watched an
average of 17,000 times a day--a figure that Chris Anderson, Head
of TED, says is the equivalent of selling out the Millennium Dome
every night for fifteen consecutive years. A New York Times
bestselling author, Sir Ken's books have been translated into
twenty four languages. In his final years, Sir Ken was working on a
book that would serve as his manifesto. This book was being written
for both new and dedicated audiences alike as a coherent overview
of the arguments that he dedicated his life to, and as a pivotal
piece of literature for the education revolution he began. When Sir
Ken received his cancer prognosis in August 2020 he asked his
daughter and collaborator, Kate Robinson, to finish writing this
manifesto and continue his work. At its core, Sir Ken's work is a
love letter to human potential--a celebration of what we as a
species are capable of doing, and of being, if we create the right
conditions. It is a rallying cry to revolutionize our systems of
education, and the ways in which we run our businesses and
structure our social systems, so that they bring out the best in
each and every person. Sir Ken often observed that what separates
us from the rest of life on Earth is our power of imagination: the
ability to bring to mind things that are not present to our senses.
It is imagination that allows us to create the world in which we
live, rather than just exist in it. It also gives us the power to
recreate it.

Chosen as one of the best homeschooling books to educate kids
during lockdown by The Independent. The perfect guide for helping
your child with phonics, containing over 40 fun, multi-sensory
games and activities to bring phonics to life in the home
environment. Phonics at Home helps parents get to grips with
letters and sounds and complements any phonics scheme already used
in primary schools. Whether you are home schooling or simply
looking for fun activities to keep your child engaged in learning,
this is the number one resource for teaching reading, writing and
spelling at home. Kate Robinson uses her wealth of experience as a
teacher and trainer to demystify phonics with clear explanations of
related terminology and step-by-step instructions to help parents
and children make the most of every activity. What's more, the
easy-to-play games work with any phonics scheme - it doesn't matter
which scheme the school is using - and use items found around the
house. Aimed at Key Stage 1 and early Key Stage 2 children, this
practical book is ideal for all parents keen to support their
child's reading and spelling development at home.
A Creative Approach to Teaching Spelling is packed full of fun and
effective multi-sensory games and activities that build phonic
skills as a key strategy for spelling. In addition, there are games
that develop further strategies to supplement phonic skills.
Preceding the games is a summary of major developments in the
teaching of spelling over the last forty years. This leads to an
analysis of the current research and approaches on which the games
are based. With the knowledge, skills and ideas offered, teachers
can enhance the growing range of phonic-based spelling programmes
currently used within schools, or they can build engaging spelling
programmes of their own to meet the specific groups or individual
pupils. The games and activities will help to develop and embed
children's phonological awareness, phonic knowledge and auditory
memory.
