What Educational Practitioners say...

As the father of a child with special learning needs, I believe that the Pocket Learner is a successful balance of the "fun" and "structure" required to help her learn. It will help children, particularly those with learning difficulties to acquire the vocabulary they need to begin reading and improve communication. I look forward to the pleasure of passing on those special family reading treasures in the not too distant future so she can share even more with us.

Dr Michael Bruce, Cognitive Psychologist

Many of our clients will benefit from using it. The children love placing the pictures in the pockets - brilliant idea!

L. Shoreman, Speech & Language Therapist, Blackburn, UK

As educational professionals who are determined to ensure every child achieves his/her potential, we are constantly seeking high quality resources to support each child's learning. I believe the Pocket Learner is a tool that will enhance reading skills and contribute to vocabulary building.

Marva Rollins, Headteacher.

I think the Pocket Learner is wonderful, very simple and yet very effective and structured. I am of the firm belief in having a tangible object to handle and hold and I know most children really enjoy that idea of slotting cards into pockets. The additional materials can be used for categorisation and this is useful as well. It's great!

Bessa Moore, BCBA & SLT, Speech Pathologist/Behaviour Analyst

I have used the Pocket Learner with several children for categorising purposes and I really enjoyed it as have they. I am going to be using it with my own father who has just had a severe stroke and lost a lot of receptive and expressive language.

B. Cabarra, MSc, Language Therapist, UK

I have worked 1-to-1 with lots of kids with Downs Syndrome. There is a real lack of useful educational interactive tools. This is great and specifically targets the abilities of these fantastic children finally. Well done!

J Davie, Special Education Teacher

As a classroom teacher and wanting to explore as much as I can, I use the pocket learner in group sessions and the children seem to be having lots of fun with it. Most importantly, it is building team spirit while they are learning without their realising it. I can see that they will definitely progress and they are looking forward to working with the transportation cards next.

Roseanne Lindo, Hillel Primary School

As a nursery worker I would like to say it has been a pleasure observing the progress the children have made since they started using the Pocket Learner.

Every day they look forward to using the pictures to communicate and some have now started to identify the words on their own. The pockets can be a bit frustrating to use but it helps them to develop patience and perseverance, which could only be a good thing. I would encourage others who want to develop vocabulary to give the pocket learner a try.

Mrs V Marseille, Wisdom Kids Nursery

Someone brought the Pocket Learner to school and because all the children like it, they now each have a set. Now we are able to work better with their parents as they are able to progress their children’s learning at home.

R Betton, ClassTeacher

I have been using the Pocket Learner with a 5 year old boy with autism, he has limited spoken skills and the cards have really helped him focus and begin to say new words but link them with the pictures. It has been borrowed by some other members of staff and they too have found it a useful tool.

It is an attractive and easy to use resource and the children all enjoy using it. It also encourages further word finding activities.

Brilliant and much needed concept to help all children improve their literacy. A practical and tried and tested solution from an inspirational mother, a great product for all children. Very inspiring, simple, clear and will change the future for many children.

H Memon, Publisher - Shade 7

The Pocket Learner has been a great tool in increasing H's vocabulary. To be able to individualise his learning by adapting the system really helps build on his weak areas. You can teach him to build a sentence by adding key words and modelling sentence structure, thus enabling him to carry out tasks with growing independence. He can also copy words to help aid in his written work. Overall it is a good tool to aid language and literacy. Thank you so much for this wonderful resource!

H's Mother

Raj has made so much progress and he is so enthusiastic now. Thank you very much.

Raj's mother

My son is notably developing confidence since he started using the Pocket Learner.

He is the proud owner of a set of the resources and he lets everyone know that. He's learning the words too. We are very pleased with the system. Thank you.
