Teachers come back to Child's Play books time and time again, confident that they will find innovative and fun teaching tools. A number of the books published by Child's Play are not only suitable for reading for pleasure but also can support learning objectives of the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies and the National Curriculum. Many of the books can also support development in PSHE and Citizenship. Child's Play aims to reflect our diverse society and challenge stereotypes. Diversity does not simply refer to heritage and disability, but also gender, nationality and culture, sexual orientation and age. Inclusive images are casual and incidental, meaning that all children are included as part of the landscape, rather than singled out for special attention. Child's Play products cover the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, moving into Key Stage 2. Child's Play products bring out the best in children (and adults) of all levels of ability, enabling them to work and play together. |

We will also provide educators with appropriate resources for teaching these transferable skills. Mary Hobbs has been involved in different levels of education and training for thirty-three years, and one of her two passions is in developing integrated literacy & numeracy teaching resources…the other is cycling. "Both give me great satisfaction, but only one gives me bruises."! Cartoons on the site are provided by L'ski who worked across a range of educational settings (preschool - secondary) as a qualified teacher of the Deaf and as an Advisory Visiting Teacher. |

We started TenMarks to create a better way for students to learn - one that focuses on the student and their individual needs, is interactive and engaging, takes advantage of new technologies, and caters to the changes in student expectations and behavior. Our mission is to positively impact the lives of 20 million students in 5 years - a tall order we know, but we are a passionate group of people! In early 2011, our vision and passion began delivering results. In just a few months, tens of thousands of classrooms and hundreds of thousands of students accessed millions of lessons on TenMarks. The feedback has been amazing. Teachers tell us their students are engaged like never before, and their skills and scores are up, way up. Students rave that they enjoy learning as they do the work, and how they're motivated to score a 10/10. We're humbled by the feedback, and can't wait to do more. |
