#PrimaryHistoryBites
#PrimaryHistorybites provide teachers and children with key information about a range of history topics in a lively and accessible format. The Audiobook version plays individual paragraphs capably read by children, so supplying an intriguing alternative to the teacher's voice and giving struggling readers access to the text at any time.
Linking non-narrative reading for pleasure with the ongoing history curriculum is an excellent way to support long-term retention and reduce cognitive overload.
#PrimaryHistorybites can be used as expanded 'knowledge organisers' covering background information not necessarily covered in lessons with valuable contextual information that can support further learning.
