New features include:

• ready-to-go packs combining delivery guidance, curriculum references and all activity parts with signposting to whether the activity has a literacy or numeracy focus
• a Tell a friend function – making it easy for you to let colleagues know about the free resources
• a Teacher discussion board – to share your views and comments on using Skilled to go materials with others.

Skilled to go, which uses everyday consumer situations such as buying a mobile phone to develop literacy and numercy, has over 8000 registered users and the team has delivered training workshops to over 500 teachers.

 On the website you can book a free workshop for teachers to learn more about Skilled to go or, you can order a Cascade pack to spread your knowledge of Skilled to go to colleagues.

 "Skilled to go provides an excellent range of scenarios that not only enhance communication, literacy and numeracy skills but also raise awareness amongst those learners at greatest risk of exploitation by helping them to understand their rights."
