Anna Orsini, Strategic Lead for School Improvement: It is great for primary students. More SEND and Higher interest books for lower ability students.
Katy, Teacher: Giglets is a fantastic resource which is easy to use for adults and children alike. It provides a wide range of texts which are levelled to suit all learners and provides linked follow up activities which can be sent back to teachers to assess.
