How teachers use the hub
Most use a story as a fifteen-minute slot: read aloud, talk through two or three questions, then a colouring or craft activity while the conversation carries on. The sequencing cards work well for groups that need something to do with their hands.
Licence
Everything here can be printed, copied and adapted for classroom use without asking. You do not need to credit us, though it is nice when people do. You may not resell the materials.
Reading levels
The main text sits around a Year 2 reading level. Each story also has a shorter version for younger groups and an extended version with more detail for Years 5 and 6, so a mixed-age class can work from the same story at three levels.
A new story every week.
Free to read, free to print, and gentle enough for the littlest listeners.
