The Literacy Shed: Welcome to The Literacy Shed - the home of visual literacy. Here at Literacy Shed we aim to provide teachers and parents with high quality films and animations that can be used in the primary to enhance the teaching of reading and writing. All of the films on the site we think are suitable for primary aged children although some films may not be suitable for younger children. We urge that you watch any films before showing them to children.

BtN is aimed at upper primary and lower secondary students with the hope of helping them understand issues and events outside their own lives.

The programme explains the basic concepts that underpin the issues and events, while also providing background information in the hopes that children will take an interest.
