The African wire car is a simple and inexpensive toy made from scrap metal wires for African children. The entire frame of the toy car, including its base and wheels, is constructed solely using bent and wrapped metal wires. Children push and steer the wire cars, decorating and racing them for fun.
This document contains a list of common idioms and sayings related to animals such as birds, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and others. Many of the idioms refer to typical animal behaviors and characteristics applied metaphorically to people. The list includes idioms like "birds of a feather flock together", "curiosity killed the cat", "let the sleeping dog lie", "lion's share", and "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink".
This document lists animals in a 3x3 grid format with each cell containing the name of a different animal. It includes both land animals like dog, pig, horse as well as others found in different environments like ladybug, duck, elephant. The animals are not grouped or ordered in any obvious way on the grid.
Fairy tales are imaginative stories featuring magical elements and characters such as fairies, witches, and wizards. Common themes in fairy tales include good triumphing over evil, the overcoming of difficulties, moral lessons, and transformations. While often intended for children, many fairy tales can have violent or frightening elements that have led to criticism of their appropriateness for younger audiences.
Hallux valgus, also known as a bunion, is a deformity of the foot where the first metatarsal bone and great toe are misaligned. It occurs more frequently in females and risk increases with age, and may be genetic. Symptoms include pain, calluses, reduced range of motion. Conservative treatment focuses on supportive shoes while surgical correction realigns bones. Postoperative care involves elevation, limited activity, pain medication, and bandage changes to aid healing.
Clubfoot is a birth defect where the foot is twisted into an abnormal position. It occurs in about 1 in 1,000 births and is more common in males. The cause is unknown but may involve abnormal foot positioning in the uterus. Treatment involves application of casts or use of splints to manipulate the foot into a corrected position.

A lack of reading limits one’s quality of life (Bradford, Shippen, Alberto, Houschins, & Flores, 2006) and yet only 1 in 5 students with intellectual disabilities reaches minimal literacy levels (Katims, 2001). Slow development of reading skills may affect more than just one academic subject but may also delay language acquisition, general knowledge, vocabulary, and even social acceptance.
However, “Literacy and reading instruction for students with significant intellectual disabilities is in its infancy….there is a dearth of information regarding complete instructional programs that might help these children learn to read and write” (Erickson et al., 2009, p. 132).
This document provides information about sorting decodable readers according to the Synthetic Phonics Spelling program (SSP). It recommends free readers from SPELD SA and Oxford Owl that have been sorted into SSP levels. It also lists the order of letters and sounds taught in the SSP program and notes that one decodable reader only contains words using the letters s, a, t, i, m, n, o, p. Instructions are given to look at the SSP teaching order to determine which code level box a reader belongs in, with examples provided.

This document provides guidance for implementing the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) reading program in schools. It outlines resources needed for each classroom, including printed materials, apps, and displays. It describes the three phases of SSP: Phase 1 focuses on phonemic awareness without letters; Phase 2 teaches the four code levels to develop reading, writing, and spelling; Phase 3 supports independent literacy. Key aspects of SSP are explicitly teaching the speech sounds and their connections to graphemes using visual prompts and a left-to-right approach.
- The Speech Sound Pics (SSP) literacy program is emerging and promising but lacks published research evidence. However, many successful literacy programs developed by teachers also lack published research initially.
- There is disagreement between advocates of SSP and those who believe only programs with published research should be used in schools. Published research is unrealistic as an initial requirement for education programs.
- Teachers are looking for evidence like student achievement data and testimonials from schools that have successfully used programs like SSP. Published research is only one useful piece of information and should not be the sole criteria for determining an education program's effectiveness.
The document discusses a speech therapist who tried to undermine the professional judgement of a teaching team using the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach, which focuses on developing oral language and phonemic awareness. The author, who created SSP, has extensive qualifications in special education needs and dyslexia. However, some dyslexia awareness groups have been trying to discourage its use for months by distributing fliers. The author asks them to stop interfering and leave the teachers and parents who see results from SSP alone.
According to Reid Lyon and James Wendorf, ninety-five percent of the children that are struggling with reading are instructional casualties. That means THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CHILD, THE ISSUE IS HOW THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT.
"It’s a consequence of an unnatural, overwhelming ambiguity forced upon the child while nobody is giving them a stairway through it before they shame-out to the process. The shame itself then impedes their cognitive ability to process it, as well as diminishes their self-esteem in general with all of its transferred effects.
So we have this massive problem that when we cut it down has to do with the social-educational paradigm-inertia."

The document is a list of words and concepts related to the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach. It includes days of the week, months, colors, shapes, animals, and other common nouns. The approach involves using pictures to represent speech sounds and teach literacy.
Recent research shows that retaining students is generally not the best option and does more harm than good. While a temporary boost in performance may occur, benefits do not tend to last and retained students are 60% less likely to graduate high school. Instead of retention, schools should focus on implementing new interventions, teaching strategies, and learning supports tailored to students' needs. As a parent, it's important to be involved in discussions with the school about retention or alternative options that may help a struggling child succeed.

1) The document discusses concerns with using PM Benchmark assessments for students who have not completed the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) program, as PM Benchmark relies on whole language approaches removed from UK schools.
2) It provides suggestions for alternative assessments that test phonics skills more appropriately for different reading levels, such as the Motif, Castles and Coltheart, and TERC tests.
3) The author advocates using SSP to teach reading as an alternative to whole language approaches like PM Benchmark, which can demoralize students if used before phonics mastery.
The document discusses the SSP approach to teaching reading using a "skills acquisition process" to develop reading brains. It argues that SSP wiring reading and spelling brains simultaneously through a systematic progression of sound-picture mapping. In contrast, traditional "whole language" and PM readers ask children to guess words they cannot decode, slowing learning. SSP progresses through four color-coded levels of increasing complexity. Home readers should reinforce the sound-pictures being learned, using only decodable texts matching the child's current level. The goal is for children to authentically read texts they can fully decode by blending learned sound-pictures.

If the kids know the words (my next door neighbour's 3 year old knows them very well) then USE this to help their brains link the speech sounds to sound pics. They can 'hear' the words in order along with the music, in their minds, so get mapping ! Play Speech Sound Pic Detective. Follow the words along with the music, and stop at one. Ask what the next word is, and then use Duck Hands, Lines and Numbers, and map the lines with the sound pics. They are already coded so doesn't matter what code level they are at, they will figure it out.

This document discusses the importance of phonemic awareness in learning to read and spells. It notes that without adequate phonemic awareness, readers must rely on guessing and visual memory rather than understanding sounds in words. Approximately 10-33% of people have difficulty with phonemic awareness, which can limit their ability to decode words and benefit from phonics instruction. The document stresses that phonemic awareness is the best predictor of early reading success more than other factors like IQ. It questions why Australia continues to use instructional approaches that have been shown to limit literacy development and notes alarming rates of functional illiteracy in the country.
A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
