Nibbler’s Adventures
Nibbler’s Aistear Adventures is a resource I created that is designed for teachers to

junior classrooms – a framework for learning through play.

Language for Living
I am a firm believer in developing oral language and vocabulary skills in children. I developed ‘Language for Living’ (also referred to as Tip of the Tongue), which contains a wealth of inspiring resources for the development of oral language and vocabulary development.
- Offers planned, intentional teaching of vocabulary…words of the day/ overused words and expressions etc.
- A progressive, considered method to narrow the word gap
- Hands on, ready to use.
- Adaptable to the learning needs of different children.
- learning through play, games and activities.
It is available from http://www.cleverkids.ie and http://www.eduhub.ie (Ireland) or http://www.tts-international.com (UK). More detail and videos are available in the menu above.

We can share with our children a wealth of words…by closing the vocabulary gaps for children in our classrooms with their peers, we can offer them the vital academic tools for school success, alongside the capability to communicate with confidence in the world beyond the school gates.
