Improving the opportunities for teaching literacy and numeracy.

Raising the standard of children’s literacy and numeracy skills is a key government priority. These basic skills are recognised as the foundation for a successful future life for children but the foundation still face obstacles towards raising achievement for all. The website hosts a wide range of lesson plans, activities and resources designed to enable teachers to develop pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills in more imaginative and creative ways. The region’s archives have provided the source material to create these unique resources, which are themed around topic areas.

Primary Sources is a Heritage Lottery Funded project. The resources on this site have been developed by primary school teachers, working alongside learning professionals from six archives in the North East region. Developed specifically for Primary Sources, and designed for use by any primary school teacher, these resources will offer you a fresh and engaging approach to teaching basic skills.
