Using technology and digital tools

Helpful arrangements

- Learning should be progressive, structured and in small steps

- Over learning - lots of repetition and recapping prior learning

- Make it multisensory (see multisensory section)

- Consider barriers to learning and remove where possible e.g. alternative ways to demonstrate learning rather than lots of handwriting.
