Parents and teachers are now turning to the power of the Internet to deliver literacy coaching to their children.

The Internet has proved an extremely good medium for that, despite some people’s reservations. Here’s why:

1 Children love doing things on the computer.

2 You can deliver immense technical expertise to coaching individual children. The truth is that teaching literacy well is a technical activity that takes a lot of training. And yet children need daily coaching. The Internet is an extremely practical way to do that.

3 It is a private experience for the child. Many children have very negative attitudes to reading because it is a “repeat failure” experience. The Internet allows them to develop their reading without all their failures being public.

4 It is adaptable. The computer can sense the ease or difficulty that a child is having and adjust an activity accordingly. So, as the child improves he or she can stay within a narrow “challenged but comfortable” zone.

5 The exact dose of education can be controlled. We have found that just 10 minutes per day gets the best results.

The results speak for themselves. We have seen many children who have struggled for years with their reading crack it in just a few weeks

Today you have a number of different styles of summerhouses which come in kit form and which can be erected in your garden. You can either choose to employ a contractor to erect it for you or if you want to save money, you can erect it yourself. But although you may well see a summerhouse, you like but there are a number of different things that the manufacturer of these kits will often forget about when making them.

Therefore, if you want to be sure that you get the right summerhouse for your garden you need to take several things into consideration before you make your purchase. Below we take a look at what these things.

1. Site Location - You need to choose a location within your garden that is not only large enough for the summerhouse to sit in. But is also one that will provide you with sufficient space around it for you to work safely and easily whilst you are actually erecting it. You should not forget that you would need to use large pieces of equipment such as ladders, which you will require in order to sit the roof on top of the frame.

2. Your Neighbours - If you are going to be placing the building close to a boundary fence then will you require access via your neighbours garden in order to do so. If you do then it is advisable that you discuss with them first what you are intending to do and whether they will allow you the permission to gain access through their garden in order to erect it.

3. Height of Your Summerhouse - You need to check just how tall at the peak of the roof the building is going to be. Then you will need to make sure that if there are any trees or bushes in close proximity to where it is going to be erected that they are not going to encroach on to it. Otherwise, you could end up having to spend considerable amounts of time and money repairing damage that these plants have caused to the summerhouse.

4. Foundations- After you have carried out a thorough check of the location where your summerhouse is going to be erected you need to decide on what kind of foundation it will be erected on. Ideally, it is best to go with a concrete base, as this will then help you to have a much more solid foundation to which the frame of the summerhouse can be attached.

5. Erection - When erecting your summerhouse it is important that you follow the instructions provided with the kit by the manufacturer to the letter. Ideally, before you actually start to install the frame for the doors look at putting on the planks that make up the walls to a height of around 18 inches. Then before you actually fit, the doors then ensure that the planks on the walls come up to a height that is in line with your waist or slightly higher.

If you remember to keep the above tips in mind then you should find not just choosing but erecting the right summerhouse for your garden a whole lot easier. Also, you will need to clarify with your local building authority if any permits are required, as certain building including summerhouses, which are above 100 sq ft, will need such things before they can actually be erected.
