Share your self-made lesson resources with other teachers in your field and generate significant financial reward and the plaudits of colleagues.

There is nothing quite like making one piece of work meet two separate ends.

You’ve written some course materials for use in your classroom because they are needed, and there was nothing else available.

So you have met one need. And the second?

If that set of materials can then be published, you can receive a significant amount of money in return. Especially if your publisher pays you 50% commission on each and every sale he makes.

This is most certainly possible because Classroom Resources is constantly looking for ready-made materials – materials that cover a topic or subject area that others have not covered – that can be published and advertised to teachers.

Indeed we are interested in materials that approach any school topic in a new, vibrant and interesting manner.

We undertake the proofreading, editing, publishing, production, ISBN registration, VAT, postage and packaging, handling and despatch, and marketing of your resource on your behalf.

What’s more, as noted above you will receive 50% commission (excluding VAT) and printed statements of your resource sales every 6 months. And the copyright remains with you at all times.

Further to this, we guarantee the regular promotion of your materials to colleagues in relevant schools across the UK.

Give us call on 0117 940 6409 or email us at info@classroom-resources.co.uk if you would like to join our list of authors.

From pronouns to syntactical parallelism: the complete grammar for AS Language and Literature students

From the student who enters year 12 with very little formal grammatical knowledge to the student at the end of AS or A2 in English Language or English Language and Literature who needs a top up, everyone has a need for support with grammar at one time or another.

Of course, there are many such volumes around – but the complex detailed tomes can be daunting and difficult for many students.

What they often need is a volume that covers the basics and is there so that they can look up (or be directed to) any specific point that is seen to be causing a problem.

And so this is what we have aimed to provide here.

When the issue of the “noun phrase” comes up, and the student needs to understand how they are different from nouns and what they look like, there’s a page answering that exact point.

The same goes for the apostrophe. There’s the possession apostrophe, not to be confused with the elliptical apostrophe and the inevitable question, “Where’s the apostrophe?”

Or to focus on another area we next have the issue of modal verbs.

But that is nothing compared with adverbs which can (fairly obviously) modify verbs. However they can also modify adjectives – which can seem slightly odd to some students who recognise that the adjective has been used to modify the noun in the first place.

In fact, when we come to think of adverbs, we can see what an extraordinarily complicated grammar we are talking about.

Which is why we’ve published this book to cover the fundamentals of grammar for AS students.

“An AS Language and Literature Grammar Booklet” is published as a photocopiable volume or on CD Rom, and individual sections can thus be readily copied and distributed to students as required. The copies can also be shared with colleagues or given to supply teachers, without any fear of the original book being misplaced.

You can see a full list of the topics and some sample pages at http://www.pdf.firstandbest.co.uk/english/T1831.pdf

If you’re yet to subscribe and want to find out how SAM Learning could benefit the students at your school, then Say hello or call us on 0845 130 4160.

What is the simplest way of making art and crafts lessons ever more relevant to the children?

Relevance comes from a link between what happens in the classroom and what is happening beyond the classroom’s window.

Which is why making art and crafts lessons relevant to the time of year not only enthuses children but also helps them carry home their enthusiasm and interest.

S&S Services offer a range of art and crafts lesson ideas and materials relevant to the different seasons, themes, events and celebrations that occur throughout the year.

Our springtime art and crafts lesson ideas and materials include (among many more):

• Spring Daffodils
• Paint Your Own Windmill – Flower
• Paint Your Own Windmill – Butterfly
• Frog Life Cycle
• Flowers (Wooden Sticks)
• Rabbits (Wooden Sticks)

You can order in any of the following ways:

• On our website at the web links above
