* I was sent the Orchard Toys Wiggly Words and Slimy Rhymes games for the purpose of this post. All views and opinions are 100% my own.
Did you know that just under 1.5 million pupils in England have special educational needs. 13% of children in primary education require SEN support, and the percentage of pupils with SEN is continuing to rise? What SEN children find challenging is vast. For some it’s literacy-based or numeracy-based activities, whilst others struggle with processing and remembering information. SEN pupils often find learning to spell words, telling the time, and solving maths problems much harder than those without SEN needs.
All children deserve the right support at both school and at home with their learning. This is why we are fans of Orchard Toys as they have a wide range of educational games available for a wide range of ages and abilities. We've had a lot of Orchard Toys games over the years for Blake and we fully recommend the brand.
Orchard Toys offer children stress free, fun opportunities to practise and develop their literacy and numeracy skills – they’re so much fun kids won’t even realise they’re learning! Orchard Toys games are designed with education in mind, and feature fun gameplay, bright and colourful illustrations, with durable, thick, quality card pieces, and ‘Learning Made Fun’ sitting at the heart of all the games.
We were sent two games that are aimed to support children with reading, writing, phonics and spelling.
