Ann Sullivan is an educational consultant, trainer and Specialist Leader in Education. Having experience of teaching in mainstream primary classrooms and in secondary learning support departments, she went on to become a high school SENCO. The move to specialist education seemed natural and for 9 years she worked as an outreach / advisory teacher based at a specialist support school, providing advice, support and training to staff in mainstream schools to enable them to meet the needs of their pupils with SEND. Ann has made it her career’s work to explore the best ways of teaching young people to read, spell and write effectively. This has led her to develop these resources, aimed particularly at children with SEND, which she has tested in schools across Manchester.
