Kelly’s blog

Leading learning at home isn’t always an easy option but it’s a great way to help your child achieve their potential. Teaching is not a magical process, although us teachers like to pretend that it is. A few simple tricks and tools will help your child learn more effectively and will empower you to be more creative with your teaching. Each week I will update my blog with new ideas to help you- feel free to add suggestions and ask questions in the comments sections.
