About Teachit Primary

Teachit takes a unique approach to educational publishing. Founded by English teacher Siobhain Archer in 1999 as a spare-time addition to her teaching workload, the online library of learning resources rapidly gathered its own momentum as her colleagues discovered the value of sharing their teaching materials. A compelling example of the true utility of the internet, Teachit grew unstoppably in response to its users' needs and now represents a huge online community of teachers sharing resources to help focus their efforts in planning lessons.

Teachit specialises in English, Drama and Media Studies teaching resources at UK primary and secondary school level. With Teachit Primary we're expanding our primary libraries to create a dedicated site for primary school teachers. We started with Literacy but now publish resources across the primary curriculum, and resources are organised by topic as well as by subject.

The basic concept of Teachit Primary is this:

  • an extensive online library of adaptable worksheets, ideas, games and activities, contributed and edited by primary teachers 
  • ready-made interactive resources for whiteboards
  • suites of specially designed computer-based applications
  • a substantial proportion of the resources available free in pdf format.

Our other resource sites include www.teachit.co.ukwww.teachitworld.com & www.citizenshipteacher.co.uk.

The life of a Teachit Primary resource

1. A resource is contributed to the site

Teachers send materials they have created and used in the classroom to us, usually by email. Each resource is then logged and printed out with a cover sheet.

2. The resource is edited by the Teachit team

Each resource is allocated to an area Editor or Resource Editor who will check it thoroughly to make sure that it is interesting, relevant, user-friendly and accurate.

3. It's amended and re-formatted

The publishing team makes changes to the content and the layout of each resource based on the Editors' suggestions; these can be substantial amendments or minor tweaks.

4. The resource is
published

A PDF version is created and published somewhere sensible on the site, along with the MS Office version for members. Often we'll find and add suitable web links to accompany the materials too.

5. It's live on the site - get downloading!
