We're proud to announce that this software has won Education Resources Award (ERA) 2010 - Special Educational Needs Resources or Equipment - Involving ICT Education Resources Award (ERA)

The judges said: “This programme is an intuitive and engaging resource aimed at analysing the specific learning needs of dyslexic children. It is immediately obvious what the programme’s objectives are through the multi-media explanation that plays when the programme is opened. This is an excellent pupil-friendly analytical tool, enabling pupils to self-diagnose and address specific learning needs. The comic book explanation of how it feels to be dyslexic is superb, making children realise that dyslexia is not their fault, nor related to their potential to do well in life after school.” (full transcript of judges comments available upon request).

Teachers using Nessy have been highly commended by school inspectors for the quality of their provision and planning.

In two pilot trials dyslexic children using this programme made on average two years academic progress per year in comparison to their non-dyslexic peers who did not use this programme. In one instance a child made 3.5 years academic progress in a year.

Nessy has proved extremely effective in addressing the needs of disaffected students and is so easy to use that teachers spend less time directing learning support assistants and parent assistants. The clear structure provides format, which saves time in IEP preparation.

The highly motivational game based learning has also proved a hit with EBD, EAL, Down’s Syndrome, Asperger's and mainstream pupils.

Based on 40 years of research and practical teaching and developed for dyslexic children by specialists at the Bristol Dyslexia Centre, the Nessy Learning Programme combines a system of structured incremental phonics linked with language, writing skills and vocabulary development.

The clear, phonic based structure includes printable card games, activity sheets, mnemonics and computer games. Students can record their own words to play with the computer games, creating highly effective multi-sensory learning. The impressive graphics and game driven approach make learning fun and motivating. Successful trials have shown Nessy helps to rebuild self-confidence and improve literacy skills.

Nessy is an interactive, multi-media resource that enables students of all abilities and ages to read, write and spell with confidence, enthusiasm and enjoyment. Each of the 120 lessons follows a structured, phonic approach supported by printable card games, activity sheets, mnemonics and computer games, delivered in a simple and fun way.

It is easy to use, gives a simple lesson structure that saves time planning and has strategies that can be used by class assistants or parents without guidance.

What our customers have said about Simple City:

"We bought Simple City for our 3 year old son and he loves it. It is a combination of video clips about educational issues, and little story boards that he can build himself. It keeps him engaged and he likes to tell us all about the scene that he has created." R. Taylor

"The children love Simple City which they also have at nursery and it teaches them how to use the mouse in a straightforward, fun way. I also think the maths and art packages will make good value as my children progress. These certainly will enhance my children’s computer experience and learning without the need for internet(!)" - N Henriquez

"Simple City is a great game which my son with special needs loves. The customer service was excellent too and I'd definitely recommend you to others." -J D Lewis

"Snakes & Adders gives me the perfect opportunity to practise numeracy skills in a fun and relaxed manner. Our six-year-old son thoroughly enjoys working out the sums (for himself and the other players!) and regularly asks to play the games again. A fabulous, effortless and effective way to support the curriculum." F. Christiansen (Parent)

SEN Notes:
Visual Learners: Designed specifically for children with learning difficulties to boost confidence.  Bright, colourful images for entertainment and as learning aids.

Kineasthetic Learners: Children who love to touch can be very hands on with these games, lots of counters and bright colourful pictures protected by laminate covers.

Children with learning difficulties can be quite sensitive to noise such as the sound of dice clashing down on the table.  This can be alleviated by dropping the dice on a cushion or felt / fabric surface instead.

"The math games were very popular with the pupils who didn't realise they were learning, though they were having fun." C. Dennis (Dyslexia Tutor)

A coloured monitor overlay for computer working is an essential tool for readers who find that a white background causes text to move or makes them feel sick or to have a headache whilst reading.  (This is commonly known as Irlen's Syndrome).

The overlays come in three sizes: 17", 19" and 22".  For smaller monitors they can be cut to size with normal scissors.   Once turned on, they 'stick' to the screen by static electricity.  If a permanent solution is required they can be fixed with a small piece of sellotape - full instructions are included with each overlay.

Available in packs of 3, choose from the 5 most popular colours: aqua, sky, grass, yellow, magenta.  Make your colour and monitor size choices from the dropdown menus at the top.

To find the size of your monitor measure diagonally.

"The words don't move when I read anymore..."

The Eye level Reading Ruler is a coloured overlay text highlighter about the size fo an ordinary six inch school ruler.  Fits easily into your child's pencil case and can be used as a book mark. 

Discreet and not childish-looking, the reading ruler is made of a combination of opaque and transparent plastic that both underlines the text and highlights it in a coloured tint. 

Simply read the text through either of the tinted plastic strips of your selected colour, and track down the page: broad strip for paragraphs; narrow strip for single lines.

There are ten colours available to provide the optimum choice between tints while also recognising  the areas of the spectrum that are most frequently beneficial.

Within that selection, the "five most popular colour" packs reflect the most common choices.  There is no complicated testing procedure: your child (or you, if they're for yourself) will know quickly which colour 'works'.

When you have worked out what tint(s) you prefer, you can buy single colour packs.  See above to order the quantity and colours you require. 

SEN NOTES:
This product is specifically for anyone who finds that text moves or is blurred when they are presented with black text on white background.  Some times this constant movement of text makes children feel sick and they can only read a few pages at a time.  Changing the contrast of the white/black combination helps.  These rulers are used by adults and children.

This CD is a scaled down version of the full Programme but is also a complete computer game that follows a storyline where skills improve as they grow their own pet Nessy.

The story takes children on a journey to the distant mountains of Ness to hatch a mystery egg and grow their own pet monster. As Nessy grows they are led through a series of motivating games that follow a structured reading and spelling programme devised by specialist teachers at the Bristol Dyslexia Centre.  Nessy is suitable for all children including children who are struggling with reading and spelling and children who are dyslexic.

Homework mode includes a recording facility that allows children to record their own words to play with the computer games. In the Games Arcade parents and teachers can access 1200 pre-recorded words plus many graded sentences, so that they can set a spelling or reading game as homework. The pre-recorded lists include key words from the National Literacy Strategy.

• The range of difficulty options makes this game suitable for all children, including both gifted students and those with special educational needs.
• Windows PC and Mac compatible Ages 7-14, Key stages 2-3
• Minimum system requirements: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Home/Pro/Vista or Mac: OS X 10.3 Pentium 3 128Mb RAM

SEN NOTES:
Visual Learners: Brilliant graphics used in both the games and spelling screens, building excitiment as the child watches the points they collect to play the games.
Auditory Learners: Here the words and then click Nessy to hear the words again. Great sound effects for the games and the spelling screens to keep attention on task.

Complete set of the first 100 high frequency words in two packs of wipe clean game / flash cards within one neat tin box.   Designed by Bob Hext a dyslexia specialist, these cards are perfect for helping children with dyslexia read and spell the most common words in the English language.

Pack one, first 55 high frequency words:

The second pack of 45 words:

(Teachers: The two packs are linked  to the National Curriculum Letters & Sounds scheme.  Pack one (yellow/orange) links to phases 2-3, and pack two (green) links to phases 4-5.)

The cards are not just flash cards, they come with instructions to play games, build sentences and they're double sided so the word can be written on the reverse side with a white board pen and wiped clean again.

The reverse side features SPELLING BOX SHAPES to help children with the recognition of letter shapes.  Spelling box shapes are boxes shaped to help with letter recognition:

Example of Box Shapes:  

• Children enjoy spelling box shapes. Given the choice, they will nearly always opt for box shapthan a normal one.
• The presence of the boxes gives the child valuable clues as to the shape of the word and the number of letters in each word.
• The shapes provide vital clues as to which letters to choose.
• Children are more likely to put in capital letters.
• They are more likely to get the spellings RIGHT and thus increase confidence.
   

Each card is also colour-coding for parts of speech, so that grammar terms and concepts can be taught where appropriate, while younger children can be taught the general principal that "different words have different colours because they do different jobs in the sentence."

Ten words from the list are repeated to facilitate playing a sentence building game, that helps children attain the goal of SPELLING HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS IN SENTENCES.

Each card also has a picture relating to the word on the card.  This is great new for Dyslexic children who often find the high frequency word harder to read and spell.  This is because of the pictures that they associate with a word.  For example the word 'car ' will make you think of a car, but what does the word 'that' make you think of?  It is the picture association with these high frequency words that is often missing and causes problems with reading fluency. 
 

A4 size overlays for whole page reading.  An alternative to the reading ruler when the whole page needs to be covered.  Useful for music tab or following a recipe or when disibility causes coordination problems.

Why do children need Memory Booster?

Do we teach our children to learn how to remember? With all the subjects and life skills children curently learn, teaching children this invaluable skill is sometimes pretty low on the list.

Learn memory skills with Memory Booster games CD in a fun filled, rewarding environment - It'll really make them think!

Download the Memory Booster demo

Memory skills are a vital part of learning because we live in a world where we must remember information; addresses, telephone numbers, exams, tests, to do lists. Many children struggle to remember things that they need to take to school, which day they have P.E., what day their homework needs to be in on.

WHAT if children were taught how to remember?
WHAT if it was fun to learn how to remember?

Research by Lucid Research has proven that this Memory Booster game is just as effective as many hours of teacher instruction, and improves memory skills independently of gender, intelligence or ability. (It’s fun too!) 

What is Memory Booster?
An educational software game for your PC set as an adventure in Pooter’s castle (Features the voice of Brian Blessed – Flash Gordon, Star Wars). Having lost its memory, Pooter the master computer needs help to recover it. Cartoon rewards and encouraging humorous graphics keep children highly motivated to stay on task at all times.

Progress Charts
Children are guided and there skills are gradually stretched through structured practice which equips them with a range of effective memory strategies. Memory Booster can be played as many times and as often as they like.

 SEN Notes
Children with dyslexia and / or memory difficulties will find this a useful (and fun) tool to develop their memories. The standard edition can be configured to suit individual needs. For example setting fewer tasks per sublevel to allow for more frequent rewards, the time delay levels can be changed so children hold information in their memory for shorter periods of time. Also the timeout period can be changed for children who process information more slowly. 

Standard Edition for Schools
Allows up to 28 registered players and so is suitable for class use. This edition of the program provides extensive teacher control over features such as task difficulty and rewards, so that in addition to automatic adaptivity, the adventure game can be individually tailored to the needs of pupils with particular special needs. This edition is accompanied by a teacher's manual that explains how to get the best out of the software and discusses educational implications.

Home Edition for Parents / Carers
Allows a maximum of four players and has fewer features than the standard edition. This edition of the program automatically adapts the time delays to the player’s ability (automatic adaptivity) and is an ideal solution for home use, at reduced cost.
