Dear Ms Harnew.

I am a very inexperienced ESOL teacher in my first year of teaching Skills for Life ESOL to adults at Pre Entry and Entry 1 level. My teaching brief includes designing my lessons around the curriculum, which was really daunting.

I am writing to say how much I rely on skillsworkshop and how useful I find your worksheets and ppts.

It really is a huge thank you as I can’t afford subscriptions to sites such as onestopenglish and I rely very heavily on finding an activity to support the curriculum on skillsworkshop.

I find the site very useful for teaching my kids functional maths skills.

The Skills Workshop site is one of the most useful and excellent resources I have come across when planning my teaching. The resources in literacy, numeracy and ICT are invaluable when planning teaching sessions.

With such a variety of ideas at different levels, especially for working with adults with learning difficulties, the activities provide exciting activities which can easily be differentiated within a mixed ability group.

Thank you for such a great resource.

Thanks for a great website with resources that give super ideas for motivating FS [Functional Skills] students.

Dear Maggie, your site is unbelievable!

I just came across it. When I looked at the list of centres which use your site, I was amazed.

I am going to register but I wanted to tell you what an inspiration you have been. I just hope the enormous effort is worthwhile for you.

I just want to say THANK YOU!!

I’m so used to finding great things and then realizing that I have to pay to use the resource. I am an ESOL Teacher at a middle school and am often OVERWHELMED like many teachers with all that we have to do to reach all of our kiddos.

What a wonderful discovery and you have obviously put a lot of work into helping other teachers. So, THANK YOU! :)
