Guide to our resources

I used to spend AGES searching for appropriate material to use in my preschool and primary classes. There’s a lot out there, but I found that often it either didn’t suit my purposes, or I’d have to spend a long time adapting what I’d found. I really wanted to have resources that I knew would engage my young learners AND do a better job of activating and consolidating what they were learning. That’s what led me to creating my own materials and now they’re available to you too.

These are the main features that all the resources share:

• Interactive – They provide lots of interaction opportunities where the children are actively involved in their learning.

• Flexible – Most resources include several variations, so you can pick and choose the most appropriate templates for your young learners. This makes them great for mixed levels or mixed age groups.

• Playful – They are not heads down, sit and complete worksheets. I’ve designed them so that they facilitate games, roleplays, story retellings and well, fun!

• Supportive – It’s not all about what it is, but how you use it. I’ve included lots of ideas and tips for ideas to do before, during and after the activity. This helps you maximise the language practice, and makes lesson planning nice and easy.

• Extendable – Not only will your young learners enjoy learning inside the classroom, but they can take it beyond too. All the resources facilitate interaction with their families. They go home with something to show, play or even teach with. I don’t think this tends to happen with pages in a workbook!
