KS2 Anthology E-Books
 Writing

* Whole Class Teaching *



Sample screen from Greece.

Exciting new E-Books for Key Stage 2. Each E-Book contains a treasury of text type - perfect for unleashing hidden writing skills!

KS2 Anthology E-books are designed to extend the range of the E-books we currently have with traditional tales at key stage 1.

The content is taken from many of our big books and other literacy resources we have, and they are designed to help model a range of text type for writing in years 3 - 6 (P4-7).

There is a wide range of activities which can be completed easily and efficiently on screen, enabling children to develop computer skills at the same time as they apply and extend their literacy skills.

There is a full correlation to the National Literacy Strategy and they also promote the Excellence and Enjoyment Strategy. It is user friendly and has teacher's support on each page of the e-book.
