What you think of The Guide to Greatness
‘My daughter’s English teacher kept her behind after lesson today to tell her that he’d just marked her essay and given her a 7, she usually gets 4s.’

Mum of a student who uses The Guide to Greatness
‘It’s fun, and it’s a book.’
‘I love the myth-busters and how and what to write for any purpose.’
‘I’m enlightened! I feel much happier helping my grandchildren with their homework now.’
‘This is so good; my daughter took it on holiday to read! She now keeps it next to her bed – it’s well-thumbed!’
‘I wish I’d had this book when I was in school…I wish I’d had this book when my children were in school.’
‘I love this book. I really like the section on how to find information you can trust – knowing how to find reliable information is essential these days.’
‘My son loves this book, I do too.’
‘This book is a life-saver!’
‘This book is brilliant, really well designed, it’s easy to find the information you need – I really like the Literacy Tracker at the back and the quotes!’
I really like the ‘How to do better in exams’ chapter, ‘What and How to write for any purpose’, particularly the structure and word banks, and the skim and scan reading section. I also like that it’s fun to read, it doesn’t look or feel like a textbook – and it’s easy to find the information you want.’
‘I wish I’d had this book when I was studying medicine, it would have made learning a lot easier.’
‘What a wonderful book! Easy to follow and understand. This is so useful when helping my grandchildren with their homework. I only wish that there had been something like this when my children were in school.’
‘This is brilliant.’
‘It’s really good.’
‘One of the things I find hard when answering exam questions is understanding the format I’m expected to write in and what is needed in the answer. This book breaks down the different styles of writing and outlines what needs to be included in a good answer, as well as lots of other critical skills, tips, and tricks for exams.’
‘Wow’
‘Why doesn’t everyone have this book?’
‘Everyone should have this book. Good literacy is essential, more so now than ever. How else will young people adapt to and understand our rapidly changing world?’
‘I wish I’d had this last year when I was doing my GCSEs.’
‘I have spent time reading your book in detail (not skim reading although now I know how to do that!); this is a really powerful aid to students going through school and to teachers and parents trying to guide and support as best we can.’
‘This handbook is jam-packed full of useful information, from how to effectively study, to how to be successful in life. A very interesting read. Every student should have this book.’
‘This is brilliant for my daughter – it’s improved her confidence, and my son (who’s dyslexic), and myself – I love that it’s so visual and concise.’
‘I love The Guide to Greatness for two reasons: firstly, it’s great for gauging how literate your children are, and secondly, it helps me engage with my son’s education. His school has online resources that he can access. This technology alienates other parents I know and me. This book does the opposite; we can both read it, talk about it, and I can help him using the information in the book to guide me.’
What you think of The Literacy Handbook for Teachers
‘Teachers, so pressurised for time, are offered snappy, useful strategies to enable learners to develop and improve at pace.’
‘The handbooks have an attractive and incredibly accessible format. The encouraging and enthusiastic tone is motivating both myself and my learners.’
‘Both books are visually exciting and fun to use as they are very contemporary in terms of pictures and captions, but also informative with lots of great additions, such as the famous quotations.’
‘Even in a subject such as Art and Design, my learners are expected to effectively research, read, analyse, articulate and communicate in several different ways. These handbooks are proving invaluable for learners of all levels.’
‘These books are so fun. When I first got them, I sat down for two hours to read them both – they’re so exciting. The design is attractive too, I love the pictures. They’re an invaluable reference tool and go-to resource for both teachers and pupils. A must for all high school kids and teachers of KS2+.’
