The Educational Playbox series by Grigoris Publications is a set of modern educational tools intended to foster the development of basic academic skills for students in primary and secondary education. They are essential tools for the 21 st century teacher and student intended to help students assimilate processes that allow them to master knowledge independently in a word flooded by information.This new approach to learning shifts focus from what to how and seeks to transform the student from a receiver of information to a producer.The first Playbox of the series is a structured intervention programme in descriptive written production, which is an essential academic skill, and is addressed to primary school students. The programme is in the form of a table game designed for students with or without learning differences in written expression by Dr Ilias Vasiliou, linguist and Special Educator. It aims at enabling students to acquire skills in descriptive written expression, integrate and apply them autonomously both in the classroom and elsewhere. It is the product of many years of teaching in special education settings and conducting research in students with learning differences in special schools, inclusive classrooms, intervention sessions and home tutoring.
