  • Grammar and Syntax

    Are you finding that your reading comprehension and writing achievement are stagnating? Often understanding the role of words and the way words are arranged to form sentences is the missing link.

    Learn about the different roles words play (parts of speech) and how sentences are structured in English. This critical knowledge supports both reading comprehension and skilled writing.

    Learn the history of English and how it evolved over time, understand the impact each wave of influence had on spelling, and explore how words are made. This knowledge supports spelling and comprehension.

  • Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages

    Proportional Reasoning is the most complex mathematical skill and the last to be mastered.

    Learn practical ways to teach fractions, decimals, and percentages and the link between them.

    Gain knoledge and ideas about how to effectively teach these complex concepts and better support your learners’ mathematical development.
