Have you ever had thoughts like these?

​

“Why do some children learn to read almost immediately, while other – bright – children not only find reading difficult, but stumble on some of the most basic words such as ‘if’ and ‘at’?”

​

“Why are there children who can’t learn their times tables, however often they try?”

​

“Why are there children who get 9/10 in a spelling test, but then spell those same test words incorrectly in their next piece of writing, sometimes just hours or even minutes later?”

​

“Why are there children who, however hard I try to make my lesson entertaining and accessible, just switch off, or worse, sabotage my efforts and their own learning with seemingly pointless disruptive behaviour?”

​

Would you like to:

• Grasp the reasons why some bright children may struggle to acquire basic academic skills;

• Use these insights to make an incisive difference to the abilities, well-being and prospects of these children in your classroom;

• Acquire insights and approaches that enable you to stimulate both academically able and academically challenged children at the same time;

• Give disruptive and impulsive children better control of their focus and behaviour;

• Make a valuable difference to children who, while they may be academically able, have difficulty in areas such as sitting still, controlling hand-eye coordination, succeeding at sports, learning from consequences, or reading people?

​

“Why Tyrannosaurus But Not If?” is an online course providing insights, approaches and strategies to help you achieve any or all of these goals.

​

“Why Tyrannosaurus But Not If” is the product of thousands of Specialist hours spent observing and working both with “typical” and with “untypical” learners.

​

​

And it’s free.

​

​

Subscribe to “Why 'Tyrannosaurus' But Not 'If'”, and you will acquire a blueprint for reaching all the children in your classroom at the same time.

​

You will discover how the mysteriously “learning-disabled” child at the back of the class can become our mentor, leading us on to new heights of teaching ability that benefit “front” and “back” of class alike.

​

You will learn why some children switch off, becoming demoralised and sometimes disruptive; and how to re-engage them.

​

The course instalments themselves are short enough to be read in the middle of a busy day.
