Literacy
This section contains all kinds of material on literacy and writing for
students aged 11 to 16. Do take a look at Literacy Online, our major new unit providing extensive and lively resources for the UK National Literacy Strategy. The first section is for 11 year-olds just starting secondary school.
Our exciting WordLab is a fun place to experiment with words - and learn a great deal about language in action too. You'll find a fascinating range of linguistic apparatus here, from a tool to collapse text to digital fridge magnets and a machine to help write stories. Try them with your students!
For materials on Knowledge about Language for 11-16
year olds and for Post-16 English Language, visit our Language section. Don't miss, either, the fascinating insights into how words work in our Word of the Week, which now has follow-up activities - great ideas for starter activities.
There are materials on reading in our Literature section: teaching materials and the reviews section as well as the comprehensive materials in our Key Stage 3 scheme of work. Take a look, too, at our online lesson plans.
Writers Online is another, exciting, way to stimulate writing - your students respond to a challenge by a well-known author and have the chance to see their own work published on-line!
