offer practical and effective strategies and models of good
practice to practitioners, and signposting further sources of

The ALERT Program - ‘How does your Engine Run?’ Prices: from €11.95
Over the past two decades, countless parents, teachers and therapists world-wide have implemented the Alert Program with
those who are verbal or non-verbal. They found the program to be a practical approach to support self-regulation for all ages
and all types of challenges, including autism and ADHD. This innovative program supports children, teachers, parents and
therapists in choosing appropriate strategies to change or maintain states of alertness. Students learn what they can do before
a spelling test or homework time to attain an optimal state of alertness for their tasks. Teachers learn what they can do after
lunch, when their adult nervous systems are in a low alert state and their students are in a high alert state. Parents learn what
they can do to help their child's nervous system change from a high alert state to a more appropriate low state at bedtime.
The ALERT Program is highly recommended by a number of support services both nationally and internationally.

NNRIT - NEW Non-Reading Intelligence Tests 1-3 AGE RANGE: 6:2 to 13:11
The New NRIT consists of group tests which are
presented orally by the teacher, enabling general
ability to be assessed independently of reading. The
NNRIT tests assess aspects of language and thinking
that are not necessarily represented in measures of
pupil attainments and help to pinpoint low-achieving
and slow-reading pupils who may nevertheless have
high underlying ability. Fully updated and re-
standardised on over 8,000 pupils, the NNRIT tests
retain the administrative simplicity which makes
them so easy to give and score. This revision
updates the item vocabulary and contexts, while also reducing the
number of questions – from 80 to 60 items per test – simplifying
administration and scoring. ©2006 Author: D. Young

DST - Diagnostic Spelling Tests AGE RANGE: 5 to 12
The Diagnostic Spelling Tests provide a series of standardised group or individual spelling tests for pupils throughout their
school years and beyond. Each test is easy to administer and available in parallel forms A and B, which are carefully matched in
content, style and difficulty. Each test gives standardised scores and spelling ages, plus an optional diagnostic facility utilising the
photocopiable marking grids in the Manual. To support the diagnosis and an intervention programme, targeted follow-up tests
are provided to check specific progress: the pupil's overall improvement can then be assessed using the parallel form.

Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3 (2nd Edition) - HGRT-II AGE RANGE: 5 to 13
The HGRT-II Tests assess pupils' reading comp-
rehension at word, sentence and text levels. They
are designed as wide-range tests, and thus are
especially useful in screening and monitoring mixed-
ability groups where some pupils may be much more
advanced, or much slower, than the average. The
HGRT-II tests 1 to 3 all have parallel forms A and B,
for use with the following age groups: Test 1 - ages
5:0 to 9:0 (Infants to 3rd Class); Test 2 - ages 7:0 to
12:0 (2nd to 6th Class); Test 3 - ages 9:5 to 16+
(5th Class - Secondary). Each test takes 30 minutes
to administer to whole class or year groups: the
parallel forms A and B can be used simultaneously to
minimise copying, as well as to assess progress over
time. At each level, the tests include questions which assess pupil's
understanding of word meanings, culturally neutral sentence-completion
questions, and higher-level 'cloze' tasks that require pupils to both comprehend
and reflect upon the content and the context of continuous text. The tests have been standardised on over 13,000 UK pupils,
giving dependable norms which express performance as standardised scores and reading ages. This revised edition establishes
time limits and extended norms which make the HGRT-II tests 2 and 3 ideal for 'access arrangement' assessments at upper
primary and secondary levels. The redesigned tests include carefully matched replacements for the original 'proverbs' items,
while preserving the tests' quick and easy administration and scoring. This Manual is common to all three tests in the series.

- Placing Classroom Practice at the Heart of Assessment
How can teachers work in the classroom in a way that
helps children take an active and engaging role in the
assessment of their work?
How can teachers do this while at the same
time making sure that learning objectives and
outcomes are being achieved?
Self Assessment and Learning Folders, S.A.L.F., provide teachers with a structured framework that bridges teacher-led
learning and assessment with child-led learning and assessment.
S.A.L.F. is based on socio-constructivist principles of learning and provides a framework for teachers that enables children
become more active in their own learning and in the assessment of that learning. S.A.L.F. outlines classroom practices that
support and enhance children’s assessment and learning using methodologies that best develop children’s competencies for
peer and self-assessment.
Researched and piloted in schools in Ireland, S.A.L.F. has been designed for school children and their teachers, parents,
guardians or carers. It clearly outlines the steps involved in creating, compiling and completing Self Assessment and Learning
Folders with Junior, Middle and Senior Classes in the Primary school. It includes strategies for supporting the involvement of
parents/guardians/carers and others in the process. S.A.L.F. provides a framework for children to present evidence of their
learning and their assessment of that work across all curricular areas and beyond.
Features of S.A.L.F. include:
Provides a framework for children to present evidence of their work and their assessment of that work across all
curricular areas
Provides a source of information that can be used by them to make assessment decisions about that learning
Is personal to the child
Respects the potential of the child
Empowers children to discuss their own learning
Encourages children to explore their own learning and the learning of other children
Involves peer and public learning
Provides activities that directly and positively build links between home and school around the learning of the child
Bridges learning inside and outside school
Creates a safe context for children to express their own thinking about their learning
The S.A.L.F. process recognises:
The role of the teacher as facilitator of the child as learner
The central role the child occupies in the processes of assessment and learning

Social Skills Picture Books Price: €45.50 Each
These books demonstrate through
pictures nearly 30 social skills, such
as conversation, play, emotion
management and empathy.
"Children of all ages learn more
effectively when pictures are used
to supplement verbal descriptions
and instructions," the renowned
author contends. "It's particularly effective, or most helpful,
when people build their own picture books, because they
can see themselves in the book." Most children need and
usually want social skills to make friends and often, their
level of happiness and productivity is dependant on these
fundamentals. The two books attempt to teach these critical
social skills by visually showing children what to do.

face special communication challenges. To
have real “talkability”, children have to
understand the meaning behind the words
by tuning in to the thoughts and feelings of
other people. TalkAbility offers a wealth
of practical strategies that parents can
build into their child's everyday life. These strategies help
children gain both the social and special language abilities for
successful conversations and friendships. Uses the familiar
user-friendly Hanen Centre format.

TRUGS (for schools), TRUGS at home (for parents) For Primary and Secondary aged pupils
trugs is a systematic synthetic phonics group of resources, designed by a dyslexia specialist, to
enable anyone, who can themselves read, to help a child/student to progress their level of reading.

safe in the knowledge that by playing the games and having fun, the most effective
teaching methods are being followed.
TRUGS (for schools), each box contains five phonics stages with four card games at
each stage, making 20 card games. 15 of the games can be played with 2 to 6 players.
There is also a Story Booklet with ten decodable stories aligned to the phonics stages

progress of pupils, considering the pupil’s diagnostic recall, fluency measure and
percentage accuracy.
TRUGS at home (for parents and 1:1 teachers), these boxes compliment the school
boxes, following the same structure of the phonic stages. There are 15 similar card games in each box and yet the words are
different – enabling a great deal of practice in reading to support the work being done in school. Parents can support their

The Programme Price: €119.50 (incl. Vat)
The Spell Write Right Programme is a powerful, games-based
programme to effortlessly teach students with a reading age of 10+,
how to understand the differences between confusing pairs of
words, particularly students who have literacy difficulties or dyslex-
ic tendencies. The programme, which was developed with the Dys-
lexia Association of Ireland, will equip students with clever meth-
ods, mental strategies, essential skills, problem-solving techniques
and an abundance of confidence to work out the differences be-
tween common, everyday, confusing words. This structured and
integrated programme is extremely adaptable and flexible and is an
ideal resource for use with students in senior primary, post prima-
ry, adult literacy, resource and learning support and indeed anyone
who has spelling difficulties or dyslexic tendencies. For those learning English as an Additional Language (EAL) this programme
is ideally suited to their needs. Through games they learn, easily, how to disentangle these mysterious, complex duos. Soon
they will no longer eat ice-cream 'desert' nor will they try shaking hands with the 'mare' on an official visit to town!
The Programme Contains:
Teachers' Resource Book A, Teachers' Resource Book B, 16 full-colour specially designed educational A2 Visual Word Cards
(Posters), 8 A3 Size Double-sided Game Boards (Bingo) with 16 different and engaging games & 100 Plastic Colour Counters.

Toe by Toe Price: €35.95 Over 25 years of fieldwork went
into the development of the Toe by

professionals and non-professionals
alike. The unique syllable division
employed by Toe by Toe is very easy to use though it is not
the syllable division generally used for the teaching of read-
ing. Once the sound of a phoneme has been taught using
the 'polynons' (nonsense words), these rules can then be
applied to any multi-syllabic word and students find a whole
new world of reading opening before their eyes. © 1993 Authors: Keda Cowling & Harry Cowling

Anyone wanting to give their child a head start can also use
this manual. It is a one-to-one manual that has been trialled
extensively with both adults and children from the age of 8
to 54. It starts by introducing the basic sounds and then
progresses slowly through the language adding the various
elements from the basic sounds to the Latinised suffixes:
from lock to loquacious. Those students who finish this text
will have their spelling ages and as a consequence, their
reading ages, advanced dramatically. © 2000 Authors: Harry Cowling & Marie Cowling

problems were exacerbated by their

one-to-one teaching manual that can be used on the school
desk or kitchen table. It can be used with students from the
age of 5 to 75. Its main function is to develop a linguistic
framework for all students; allowing them to understand
that the English language moves from left to right and that
order and structure rule the language. It is not the mystery
that whole word systems make it appear. © 2005 Authors: Harry Cowling & Marie Cowling

The Newell Literacy Programme Price: €240.00
The Newell Literacy Programme is a comprehensive multi-sensory, phonetic, sequential and
success-orientated programme to help improve child and adult literacy skills in reading,
writing and spelling. There are no graphics, childish or otherwise, in the programme allowing it
to be used with all ages and across a wide range of abilities. It is sequential as the learner
moves, step by step from simple, well learned material to that which is more complex as the
pupil masters the necessary language skills. It is linguistic as words and sentences carry
meaning. The language is simple to suit pupils with a restricted Code of language. It is
systematic as materials are organised and taught in a way that is logical and fits the nature of
our language. It is cumulative as each step of the way is based on those already learned. It is
cognitive as pupils with poor memory skills can think their way through the language problems
and understand the reasons about what they are learning. It can be used with individuals, small
groups or whole class settings. Books are fully photocopiable and can be purchased separately
at a cost of €35 each.

Moving on Up Price: €27.95 This book & CD address the perennial
problem of how to prepare primary school
children for secondary school. It includes
leaflets for pupils and parents on issues such
as peer influence, coping with change and
what change to expect. The activities are a
combination of fun to do, such as ‘Getting to
know your new teachers’ and a quiz on
‘How organised you are’ but also delve into
more emotional issues such as ‘How you feel about
secondary school’ and ‘The effects of peer pressure’.

Moving to Secondary School Price: €34.95 Moving to Secondary School helps teachers
to understand and ease pupil's anxieties and
to focus on the positive. It tackles worries
about organisational aspects of secondary
school life, such as school size, timetables
and workload and personal concerns about
making friends, being bullied and getting on
with teachers. It also considers how
teaching differs between primary and
secondary and looks at how special programmes can offer
continuity in students' learning. Pupils who fail to settle are
more likely to become alienated and disruptive and suffer
the well-known academic 'dip'. The book is full of tried and
tested projects and activities.

Quiet Times Price: €20.00
- A Safety Valve for Student Stress
Overloaded, stressed out students with
special learning needs require proactive and
targeted support to help them to develop the
tools necessary to manage their stress levels
such as taking small ‘time-outs’ or ‘quiet
times’. This photocopiable resource book
provides a broad range of brief, self-contained
readings that can be used during these time-out periods,
each linked to a particular topic that may be creating stress
for the student. Each reading is followed by a small series of
questions that encourage the student to think about the
reading in the context of stress management ideas.

Managing Anxiety at School Price: €20.00
This photocopiable book can be used to
support students in developing a repertoire
of responses for managing feelings of
anxiety and fear before they get out of
control. Students learn to understand what
triggers their feelings of anxiety and how to
control them. They learn to pay attention
to physiological and psychological changes
they go through when they experience
anxiety and fear and learn skills to calm themselves down.

Moving on Up Game Price: €85.00 (incl. Vat)
Designed with the
help of pupils, this
boardgame prepares
students for making
the transition to a
new school. Using
four sets of question
cards, covering
motivation, solution,
school and responsibility, students will learn about secondary
school life and develop their awareness, personal and social
skills, which promotes positive progress in their new school.
Suitable for two to six players, the object of the game is to
collect 25 counters and for all the players to get to school.
The game is cooperative - there is no individual winner,
either everyone wins or everyone loses. This is a unique and
fun way to introduce 10-12-year-olds to the issues involved
in moving schools. Contents: 1 game board, 4 sets of 20
cards, 6 character game pieces, 1 die, 1 timer, 50 counters in
a bag + instruction card, boxed.
