Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading
journey from phonics to fluency. Top authors and illustrators have
created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read.
Levelled for guided and independent reading, each book includes
ideas to support reading. Teaching and assessment support and
eBooks are also available. As the end of Year Six approached and
starting a new school was on the horizon, Alfie Smith had a lot to
worry about. But just when he needed it most, he discovered a new
interest – one which changed his life forever. Pearl/Band 18
books offer fluent readers a complex, substantial text with
challenging themes to facilitate sustained comprehension, bridging
the gap between a reading programme and longer chapter books. Pages
78 and 79 allow children to re-visit the content of the book,
supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.
Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support
and stimulating activities.
At least one in seven people are thought to be neurodivergent. So
what exactly is neurodiversity? What does 'executive functioning'
mean? What are 'spiky profiles'? In this simple guide, expert
speaker and trainer Daniel Aherne provides a clear introduction to
neurodiversity and the four most common neurodivergent identities
of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Using an analogy of a
cactus needing a desert to grow in, he emphasises the importance of
getting the environment right for neurodivergent people, rather
than expecting them to adapt to the neurotypical world. Daniel, who
himself has ADHD, also explains how neurodivergent people often
have great strengths alongside areas of difficulty, and writes
about the interplay between diagnoses, as well as unpacking tricky
concepts such as working memory, sensory processing, communication
differences and more. Busting common misconceptions and setting out
simple tips and guidance for supporting the neurodivergent people
around you, whether among your family, friends or at your school,
college or workplace - or if you yourself are ND and want to
improve the understanding of others - this essential guide will
help us all celebrate neurodiversity and foster more inclusive
communities.
This collection of illustrated portraits celebrates the lives of
influential neurodivergent figures who have achieved amazing things
in recent times. Showcasing these 30 incredible people, the
extraordinary stories in this book show that the things they've
achieved, created and inspired they did not despite being different
but because they are different. From politicians, activists and
journalists to YouTubers, DJs and poets, this book highlights a
wide range of exciting career paths for neurodivergent readers.
What should I be aware of when trying new foods? Am I ready to
change my eating patterns? How can I eat with other people? Food
can come with all sorts of challenges - sensory issues, social
pressure, loss of control - and so making choices about what foods
to eat, and coping with mealtimes can be stressful - especially
when other people are involved. If you are neurodivergent and
looking to change your relationship with food, this interactive,
accessible guide is the perfect companion. You might stick to the
same 'safe' foods all the time, be attached to specific mealtime
rituals, or struggle to know whether you are hungry or full. This
guide will help you recognise the signs of avoidant eating, cope
with food related anxieties and manage sensory overload, as well as
the particular social stresses of communal eating. With top tips, a
progress tracker, quizzes and worksheets, this is an engaging and
informative resource for teens and parents alike.
