Janice has been practising as a speech and language therapist for about 35 years, most of this spent working with children with language or learning challenges. It was out of this experience that her book Everyone Can Learn was written, born from a passion to find ways to help children who were not learning easily, or well, from conventional teaching in the classroom. She will be teaching us strategies of learning that help children who have problems: in memory; in learning and retaining new vocabulary; in spoken and written language; in comprehension, the writing of challenging graphemes and spelling. These strategies can be easily applied by teachers in the classroom, by parents when doing homework and by therapists in the therapy room. She will show us how children can be helped to understand their challenges in such a way that they become active in both the management and overcoming of their own learning difficulties. They are taught ‘more brain learning’ strategies of learning, so called because they make use of humour, colour, imagery, rhyming and association, engaging parts of the brain not normally used when learning new vocabulary or spelling, making the strategies fun and effective.
