I absolutely loved this English resource. It was relatable to my son with the gaming aspect in one of the resource sections on Fortnite. It really functions well as a comprehensive pack. Well done to teach it!

Thank you so much! I am so impressed with your kind gesture of making the resources you have available, free till the end of April. We are not allowed to remit foreign currency from Zimbabwe, so sadly, I have not been able to become a paid member. I have used your free resources for years. This is definitely my number one website. I shall be using this with my locked down Grade Six class. Thank you so very much!
Kind regards,

Have taught for many years at Sixth Form, A Level. However, all the primary schools in the area have closed and I am painfully aware of the huge problems this will cause for parents and children. For me, learning, at home and school, is the most solid foundation a child can have. I'm also very aware that there are some parents who could be overwhelmed by the unexpected pressures Coronavirus will undoubtedly present them with. I'm hoping to start a Facebook project in my local area to encourage children to read and learn. Essentially, I want to encourage children to read! I know there are homes with few books; I intend to begin by reading to all the children, and take it from there!! Will it work/ I don't know. Your resources? I hope to use these to help me with my Project. Thank you.
