Used Literacy Planet for 0–3 months

It provides a wide range of English activities which is amazing. Once the activities are set, the children can login and play straight away. The activities are marked which makes the work load easier for teachers. Different activities can be set for different children without them knowing what year group they are working at. The data provided is really useful. I really like that a mission is automatically reassigned if a child does not pass it. Spelling lists can be made which is a great way for the children to practise them each week. An area of improvement would be, I find it difficult to know what activities have already been set - at the moment you need to click on the activity and see if a child has completed it yet or not. It would be easier if the activities had a tick next to them if they have already been set for the children or completed.
