Barriers to success
Technology can be too engaging and set tasks need to be completed first, technology then is a motivating reward
Time to make new resources
Sickness/children missing sessions - it is difficult to scaffold and model when children are at different stages of the process
Large range of abilities
Attitudes and motivation
