One of my favourite resources are Stile trays. In most of the schools I have worked in I have found that they are an under used resource. Mainly because many teachers do not know what they are for or how they work.
Stile trays are very appealing to children of all ages and abilities. Here's why.....
- they feel like a game or a puzzle rather than work
- there is no writing involved, a huge relief for dyslexic students
- there is a clear beginning and end, great for autistic students
- they are short activities
- they focus on one skill at a time
- they can be completed independently and are self checking - this is very rewarding for a student who always needs help
- they cover a wide range of topics and cater for different ability levels
And there are original Stile trays for 7 -12 year olds (but they could be used with older students if appropriate)
