The Five Minute Box has been designed as an early teaching system and screening tool for the detection of dyslexia and general learning difficulties in primary age children. The need for simple steps learning, linked to a regular, consistent, multi-sensory style of teaching is behind the development of the Five Minute Box. Used with all children for a few minutes daily, from the age of school entry, the programme of teaching has been designed to cover the basic skills required for the acquisition of literacy. It is designed for use by Learning Support Assistants on a daily basis and requires nothing more than time. The vital element of the Box is to identify at a very early stage, those children who are finding it more difficult to acquire these skills. The Five Minute Box can then continue to supplement reading and writing lessons by giving as much time as these children need to acquire the skills. The system is separated into different areas so that a child can make progress in one area, while still being allowed time to completely master another area at a slower pace. Motivation, organisation and self-help strategies are built into the programme. The recording of progress is shared each session with the child and progress is divided into small steps targets. These stages can readily be shared with parents and are easily monitored by the SENCO and class teacher. For further press information contact Graham Kendall |
