Review this resourceI 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.
