The resource bank is organised by themes:

• Speaking skills
• Memorising skills
• Thinking skills
• Mathematical & Scientific skills

You can go to any theme page by clicking on the list of links below. So far there are resource materials available for Listening, Reading, Writing, How we Learn and Note-making skills.

Some of you have asked for lesson plans, so some have been developed for note-making and one also a reading skills lesson on Decoding Text. These are not meant to be followed slavishly but taken and used as a starting point for you to develop your own. Please send feedback on what went well and what didn't!

All resources in the resource bank are available to Focus Learning staff and associates for use in FOCUS schools. You are free to download and print off hard copies as required, subject to any copyright restrictions indicated on the document. Resources without copyright restrictions may be edited as required.

The resource bank will grow and become more useful as more resources are uploaded onto the site. If you want to upload your own documents, you will need to log into the site as an instructor.

Alternatively, you can e-mail your documents to focustandl@hotmail.co.uk and they will be uploaded for you
