What's New in 2018?
KeyStage2Literacy.co.uk Has A New Look

There's no better way to celebrate 7 years of www.keystage2literacy.co.uk and reaching 1000 followers on Facebook, than to redesign the website. The site now has well in excess of 200 individual pages but sometimes navigation was not clear or easy to follow through. Also, things continue to change in education and it's important to keep up and ensure that I continue to offer a fresh look that is relevant to the audience. Time has been spent and will be spent over the coming weeks streamlining some of the pages and the links between pages so that this site delivers you the most efficient user-friendly experience. Finally, I have taken the decision to remove all of the adverts on the site as I'd rather a clutter-free environment for you to navigate.

Thank You!

Juggling this website and the Facebook page alongside a full-time job is not easy but I enjoy updating new things that are happening in my classroom.  KeyStage2Literacy is a one-man operation and new resources/ideas are uploaded sporadically throughout the academic year. I always aim to use any spare time I have to bring you more content to use with your classes and offer not just resources, but ideas for sequences of lessons or one-off activities. If you have enjoyed your experience here or a regular visitor, please continue to support the site with a 'like,' 'follow' and 'share!' Thank You!
SPAG Grid Online will be a fully interactive page. Each of the 35 areas on the home page will link conveniently to individual pages of the website containing videos, revision notes and links to endless activities.
The SPAG Coverage Grid has been a labour of love for so many months. In May 2017, the Coverage Grid (in its current format) went live and over the last 10 months has been downloaded over 500 times. People have contacted me from near and far to say that the content has really helped them to revise for the end of year National Tests and that they have shared it with their colleagues along the way. Those who deliver Literacy training have also contacted to ask if they can pass on the link! As it stands, the Coverage Grid is in PowerPoint format and has over 70 pages. At this length, it is just manageable in terms of download size. However, it would be far more beneficial if the content were to be delivered through the website, offering you the opportunity to share content through iPads and other mobile devices. This would ensure that, as a student, you could access the content from home for revision purposes, and as a teacher, you don't need to download to your device.
The NEW and IMPROVED SPAG Coverage Grid will contain ALL of the content from the existing Coverage Grid plus much much more! Keep checking back in the new academic year as the new Coverage Grid goes live! 
'This is the first time I have visited your site and I have to say thank you- it's a great site, with some really useful ideas. I admire people like you who take the time to share your ideas and expertise. Good on you- and keep going! I will be using some of your early morning activities on Monday!'
