The reading wars are over - and phonics has won

🙌 Phonics - such an important skill to embed in our young learners

theage.com.au Of all the debates in education, none are quite as absurd as the reading wars, writes the NSW Education Minister.

A great program for any of my clients going to STMMB next year in Prep

🎓 Ready Set Prep ✏️ We are now taking expressions of interest for our school readiness group in Jan 2021. This group is suitable for children enrolled in Prep at St Mary MacKillop Primary School in Bannockburn. This group will be run by an OT and a therapy assistant ⭐️

Appreciation- when one of your 4 year old clients pick you a flower 💐

Yesterday I had to hold back tears in a session. It was our first face to face after 3 months of Telehealth. Partway through a task the 4 year old stopped and said “Mel, I am so glad you are at my house today. I have really missed you.”💜

It really makes you stop and take a breath that for these little ones you become a constant, a part of their routine and their everyday life and while people may only see the work you do with them on the surface as a SP we have the ability to impact their lives so early on in such positive ways that will support them to navigate through their early education, schooling and beyond and this is why I love what I do and I feel blessed to have so many wonderful clients and client families I work with 💜
