-
'Box' time is flexible - can be either arranged to fit in with the daily timetable as a regular slot, or used to fit in any extra time available in the course of the day.
-
All children go on to the Box on school entry - the more able go through the programme rapidly, others remain and continue on the programme as long as is necessary.
-
TA time with the Box is structured and does not need daily planning by a teacher.
-
Equally useful for EAL children entering late Infant or Junior classes - a Teaching Assistant can take a new child and the Box and make an immediate start.
-
Boards can be photocopied and sent home to practise for homework - to share knowledge with parents "show your mum what you know" not "ask your mum to teach you".
-
There is a record of progress over time.
-
IEP targets are on the recording booklet cover.
