Welcome

When I first started this site I thought it would be a nice way to give out a few resources. There have now been more than 100,000 students taught using these resources from more than 112 countries and there have been some very kind recommendations from as far apart as, Nepal, Tehran, China, Brazil, Argentina, the New York Times publisher, the Japanese JET programme, the BBC and most of all from Google. That said it's still an overgrown hobby that I do after the children have gone to bed to save teachers a little bit of trouble, because none of us get enough free time.

Campaign for Scroll Wheels on Electronic Readers!

If you use Facebook, then please help me to encourage manufacturers to include Scroll wheels on Electronic Readers. Scroll Wheels make reading on screen so much easier and faster than having to play around with fake page changing mechanisms! Not only that, but scroll wheels are more comfotable for hands and reduce eye strain! Please become a fan here...
