Brief to Write Numeracy Resources for Parents of Deaf Children
Background
The existing NDCS publication ‘Helping your deaf child to learn’ is a popular resource for parents of pre-school and primary aged children, covering literacy and maths at a general level. Based on feedback NDCS is planning to create new resources for parents of deaf children, to provide them with specific information and support around helping their deaf children to develop numeracy skills. The booklets will build on the general information available in Helping your deaf child to learn. The booklets will cover information for different age ranges:
· Early years, age 3-4
· Key stage 1, age 5-7
· Key stage 2, age 8-11
Aim
To provide age
appropriate information and practical advice to parents on how to help their
deaf child develop numeracy skillsThis sits within NDCS’ wider strategic objectives of empowering parents and closing the attainment gap between deaf children and other children.
Audience
Primarily parents/carers of deaf children, and the extended family.
Secondary audience is professionals such as Teaching Assistants.
Key topics
We think the resources will need to
include: · Practical information (for example games and activities parents can do with their deaf child to help with their learning)
· Information on the challenges their deaf child might be facing in their learning and why
· Information on how and what deaf children are being taught at school
· Advice from other parents
We think the following messages should be incorporated into the booklet:
· Parents play a key role in their child’s education
· Parents need to be aware of the difficulties their deaf children may experience in developing language and literacy and numeracy skills
· There are very practical things parents can do to help their child develop these skills
Next steps
Please
contact Sarah Handley, sarah.handley@ndcs.org.uk, 020 7549
0463, for more information and how to apply.Children's Newspaper Opportunity
Work Type: Seeking Freelance Authors with
Experience in Children’s Nonfiction
Description: Press4Kids is a producer of children’s
news publications, and our initial product will deliver daily news articles to
children at the elementary level (grades 2-5). We are looking for freelance
writers to join our team of reporters, and we need enthusiastic authors who can
engage reluctant readers and help teach them about the world. It’s our mission
to inspire children to read while empowering them with the knowledge that they
themselves have the ability to change their world.
Because this digital newspaper will be delivering
content for very young readers (whereas “news” is often considered an adult
concept), we are trying to revolutionize the news experience. We will cover
important national and international news, but always with a positive approach.
Our on-staff child psychologist vets every story for age-appropriateness, and we
need to ensure the safety and security of our readers. We will also, of course,
report on whimsical, silly, and kid-friendly current events as well. But every
story is based on the latest news – events that occurred within the previous 24
hours.
Job requirements:
We are looking for experienced authors of
children’s nonfiction and/or writers who may have been educators at the
elementary school level. We need writers who understand how to explain
potentially complicated concepts – hurricanes, al Qaeda, the New Hampshire
primaries, etc. – with simple and straightforward terms. Our articles are
relatively short, but the text must be gripping and clearly organized. It will
be the quality of our content that will make us a success, and we will not have
time during a day to make substantial edits on a story.
We need writers who understand what level of text
is appropriate for our readership. The vocabulary and the complexity of the
sentences cannot be too advanced, but we can’t talk down to our readers either.
We will not infantilize the world news -- we will expect some level of
sophistication – but of course readers at this age may not have much prior
knowledge.
While the articles will be assigned by the
Editor-in-Chief each morning, Press4Kids also looks to its team of writers to
help discover the news each day that will inspire our readers: stories of
courage and triumph, human and scientific achievement, kids in the news, even
sports stories. The more proactive writers are more likely to get more frequent
assignments.
Because we are delivering the news on a
daily basis, we need writers who can work in the morning on a very quick
deadline. However, we require no long-term commitment for any of our
freelancers; because each day brings new assignments, authors can opt out of
assignments for days or weeks at a time and then pick up assignments again when
available. The project has no end date.
To apply: Please email a resume to info@press4kids.com with a description
of why you are qualified to write nonfiction for students. Title your email,
“Press4Kids Writer”
Location: Remote
Rate: $75 per short (150-word) article; $100 for the main story of the day; $20/hour copyediting
