FAIRY GODMOTHER OF NAPLAN BECOMES EDUCATIONAL AUTHOR

The "Fairy Godmother of NAPLAN" Brisbane school teacher Cindy Holmberg-Smith has headed into the traditional hard copy world following the national success of her online Lizard Learning educational resources website.

Lizard Learning resources, which are a secret weapon of many parents, carers and teachers looking for fun ways to focus children on literacy and numeracy fundamentals - especially in the lead up to NAPLAN -  will now be available as hard copy books sold at EDSCO, one of Australia’s leading teaching material suppliers.

Until now, the products have only been downloadable.

“I have had so much demand from schools and teachers who wanted hard copies, so I decided to go forward and meet the need, just as I have always done,” said Cindy.

“I am so pleased that EDSCO has decided to stock Lizard Learning products as it really is THE teaching store to sell resources if you are an educational company.”

Cindy founded Lizard Learning to help make learning fun and easy for Australian primary school children.

“After many years as a primary school teacher, I realised we didn’t have enough good quality resources to help with lesson planning,” she said.

“The resources save teachers from reinventing the wheel each day and allow them to focus on covering the fundamentals in numeracy and literacy – giving them precious time back to focus on other tasks…like teaching!

“Teachers are continually telling me the curriculum now is so jam packed that they barely have time to teach a concept and then they are testing it. There is not a lot of room for revision, consolidating and ensuring that learning, understanding and retaining that new concept has actually taken place. Lizard Learning has done all revision and consolidation work so teachers don’t have to.”

Lizard Learning has something for anyone interested in quality education for primary school children - from 10 Quick Questions a Day for all year levels to the very popular Bootcamp: Punctuation and Spelling products, posters, stationery and organisers, and free resources in The Lizard Learning Club.

“The Lizard Learning workbooks and activity sheets are not conventional, but they provide the educational foundations needed for our children to develop as next-generation leaders,” she said.
