Welcome to Switch Learning
Switch Learning Limited was created by Racheal Bell after a 20 year career in education. Racheal has extensive experience working with children, and their families, who have specific learning and behaviour needs.
Early Childhood Centres and Schools have an increasing number of students needing specialist support and resources to cater for the range of learning and behaviour needs. This demand has been the inspiration to create Switch Learning, an online store for parents, teachers, SENCo’s, resource teachers, private providers, speech therapists and occupational therapists.
If you are struggling to find resources that cater for specific learning or behaviour needs we are happy to offer advice or source suitable products.

Use fidget toys while sitting on the mat or in anxious situations to improve focus and, reduce stress. Bright colours, quiet action and mindless “fiddlebility” make this the perfect fidget toy. The 3 rings are seamlessly attached to each other, and rotate around each other in surprising and various ways. Grip the rings, or slip a finger in any of them, and swing away with abandon. Enrich the “sensory diet” of your students. Our “fiddles” may look like toys to the untrained eye, but they are truly serious business tools. Kinesthetic learners will focus better and absorb information more quickly if they have something to do with their hands.
Colours may vary – randomly selected.

DUE OCTOBER 2021
The Rip Rap novels are fully decodable; sequentially and cumulatively introducing and practising digraphs, so that students are not confused by the plethora of word patterns in books with an uncontrolled vocabulary. The novels tell interesting, exciting stories, using natural language rather than the stilted and contrived sentences of some decodable material.
There are three series of Rip Rap books, each comprising 12 novels. The A and B Series are both suitable for upper primary to secondary students and adult readers. The Club Series is principally aimed at primary to lower secondary aged children. While it is important that each series is read sequentially from level 1 to 12, the levelled vocabularies of the three series are very similar. This means that students can switch between series, or read more than one book at each level for additional practice. The books in the Club Series however, are similar to one long novel, so it is particularly important that students read each book of that series in sequence.
