Links to books and maps will take you straight to pages at where you can see further details of the publication. All external links, will be displayed in a new window. I do check external links - but not very frequently! If you follow any which are out of date, please let me know.

A simplified version of the pages has been written by Wendy Pallant. Wendy's site contains a bank of resources for pupils with special needs, who are reading at NC levels 1 and 2, along with links and other information.

If you spot any errors, or if you use the site in a school please let me know (I've had e-mails from Australia, the USA and the Middle East commenting on the site, and providing helpful corrections. Recently I've had more feedback from the UK - but still not as much as from further afield).
