Are you a primary school teacher who wants to develop teamwork, oracy skills, reading fluency, and inspire reading for pleasure? Crank, Imma and the Keeper is the first in a series of three Virtling Sagas. This resource engages all readers from 8 to 12 years old. They simply love this! We are now looking for new school partners and collaborators.

Follow the link to the READING GAME. There are very short video explanations and evidence of how children play the game. You will need a password to view. First click on Enter first – that will open the password box to enter the password. If you haven’t received one from us or from The Bookery in Crediton, Devon, email me, Dr Nigel Meager, at nrm32@cam.ac.uk.

A big thank you to Pilton Bluecoat Academy in Barnstaple from me, Nigel, and from my friend and colleague, Dr Julien Morton who co-created this resource. Without the support of the children, teachers and teaching assistants in Years 4, 5 and 6, we could not have produced a prototype that is proven to work!
