Podcasting is an increasingly popular type of media that children are familiar with and actively listening to. A poll by the National Literacy Trust found that 42% of 8-18 years olds enjoyed listening to audio in their free time, compared with 34% of children who enjoy reading in their free time. There are dedicated children's podcast charts, and they can be an excellent way to promote reading. Why not then encourage children to create their own podcasts with 2Cast?

End-of-year reporting can be one of the most demanding tasks teachers face. With parents expecting detailed, personalised feedback and assessment deadlines looming, the pressure can feel relentless. Evidence Me by 2Simple is designed to take that pressure off, giving you powerful, easy-to-use reporting tools that turn your assessments into polished, shareable reports in just a few clicks.

To celebrate the launch of Purple Chip earlier this year, we are running a new competition to get children and schools inspired and excited about programming.

At 2Simple we want to help by raising awareness of International Literacy Day and the importance of young people gaining those valuable literacy and language skills that are needed throughout life.

Here we look at just some of the resources available within Purple Mash that can help young learners engage with literacy and enjoy it for life.

As your learners progress throughout the year, there will be many 'Wow' moments. Whilst these milestones are rewarding, keeping track of each child's learning journey can be challenging. Take a look at our blog to find out how Evidence Me can help to simplify this process.
