National Literacy Trust Resources
As a response to school closures, the National Literacy Trust have developed a comprehensive web portal for parents and carers, to support you during this time. Split up by age group (up to 12), they provide ideas and guidance for simple activities that will engage your children at home, while also benefiting their reading, writing and language development. The site includes free access to reading and writing resources, audiobooks, videos, competitions and reading challenges. Every resource is available for free, although to access some you may need to create a free account.
