Recommendations and reviews

Books, websites, research papers, podcasts – if you’re looking for useful information about literacy for older children and teenagers, The Literacy Hub is a great place to start!

There is a bewildering array of education resources out there, and some are better quality and more relevant than others. That’s why I’ve created a searchable collection of reviews, with a focus on resources that are relevant to teaching literacy to older children and teenagers.

These reviews and recommendations are written with educators in mind, and so many of the resources ‘bridge the gap’ between research and teaching.

Whether you want a quick introduction to retrieval practice, tips for supporting pupils with dyslexia, or a guide to English spelling, The Literacy Hub can help you identify which resources contain the information you need.

I regularly update these recommendations as I come across new resources, and I’m continuing to revisit the best picks from my literacy teaching collection. If you think there’s a great resource that I’ve missed, please let me know!
