I work at a school and I was researching websites for teachers of my special needs student and these are great for younger kids or younger mentality. A few of the sites are great for teens and adults. (like the How stuff works) Try it and tell me what you think?

http://ksnn.larc.nasa.gov/states_of_matter.html - a few experiments

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Home.html - worksheets and info on many subjects

Great I had a quick look, I love the way that the internet makes learning so accessable and easy for us to be able to help our kids with home work.

I think I'll save those links for future use.

Hi

Some good links there, Do you know of any real basic (KS1) for special educational needs. (Servere Case) a year 4, cannot read, write, counts to 20 but does not recognise numbers too 20 when written, limited alphabet knowledge.

Any help would be much appreciated

I found something? What is the age of your student/child? It sounds like a pre-kinder level.

I suggest that you use concrete models for numbers. Linking cubes, 3D numbers for him to play with, sorting by size(with numbers on it), etc. are good tools to teach basic math with. I'm only an aide, not a teacher. I spent the last 2 years working closely with a school Occupational Therapist to improve my students skills and they really work. OTs are great for fine motor and basic skills.

Thanks for the links, believe it or not he is a year 4 primary school (8yrs old) still in main stream school, gets 12hrs one to one tuition a week + any extra I can do at home, but I have no educational training all I do is guess at what might help.
