Learning difficulties cover a wide range of needs, including moderate learning difficulties (MLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD),where children are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum and associated difficulties with mobility and communication, through to profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), where children are likely to have severe and complex learning difficulties as well as a physical disability or sensory impairment.’* **Paragraph 6.31** > *‘Specific learning difficulties (SpLD) affect one or more specific aspects of learning. This encompasses a range of conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.’* Cognition and learning needs may encompass most of the curriculum, such as for pupils with MLD (moderate learning difficulties) or SLD (severe learning difficulties). However, cognition and learning needs may only impact on specific areas such as reading, writing, spelling and mental calculations. Cognition and learning needs generally account for difficulties in curriculum-related areas such as: - reading, writing and spelling - numerosity - comprehension - processing difficulties such as sequencing, inference, coherence and elaboration - working memory - short term verbal memory - other types of executive function difficulties ### Useful Websites include: ![](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/images/sendpictures/useful_links.png) #### **Dyslexia:** [www.thedyslexia-spldtrust.org.uk](http://www.thedyslexia-spldtrust.org.uk/) **Dyspraxia** #### **Memory Games for Kids** ### Cognition and Learning handwriting booklet phonics linked 2.64 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/handwriting_booklet_phonics_linked.pdf) B and D workbook 2.64 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/B_and_D_workbook.pdf) Reading Challenge cards 113 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Reading_Challenge_cards.pdf) Multi Sensory Spelling activities 643 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Multi_Sensory_Spelling_activities.pdf) Multiplication square 62 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Multiplication_square.pdf) 100 number square 29 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/100_number_square.pdf) The Capital Letters 77 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-7-The-Capital-Letters.pdf) The Other Letters 165 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-6-The-Other-Letters.pdf) The Vowels 89 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-5-The-Vowels.pdf) The Lumpy Letters 163 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-4-The-Lumpy-Letters.pdf) The Long Letters 92 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-3-The-Long-Letters.pdf) The Tall Letters 174 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-2-The-Tall-Letters.pdf) Anti-Clockwise Letters 96 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/files/documents/Book-1-The-Anticlockwise-Letters.pdf) ![St Mary's C.E.
