step by step

Over twenty years of specialist teaching has proven to me, the power of step by step progress. Sometimes when we look at the big picture we feel overwhelmed and this stops us from taking the first step towards our goals. This is often the case with learning difficulties - children put off asking for help because the work just feels too big, too hard, too impossible. During our lessons we work on identifying the first step we need to take - and we commit to taking one small step each day, knowing that each little step takes us closer to our goal. 

Developing a step-by-step mindset

• turns an impossible task into a doable one
• trains us to set realistic goals
• allows us to celebrate the small wins
• gives us hope
