Resources for Religious Education
Questions to ask when choosing resources
Are the resources chosen appropriate for the age and ability of the pupils?
Have I selected a range of different readability level texts for the pupils that will
encounter them?
Do the books chosen contain a variety of different styles of writing / genres?
Do the books, pictures and photographs selected avoid stereotypical images?
Are there a range of multi-ethnic and culturally diverse images in the materials
selected?
Have I chosen materials which allow RE to appeal to a range of different
learning styles? (E.g. Are there picture books, big books, EAL texts, artefacts,
photographs, CDs, CD ROMs, different level texts, visits / visitors etc?)
Are there materials suitable to support independent learning for the pupils?
Have I selected a range of multi-sensory resources which allow access to the
subject for SEN, EAL pupils etc?
Have I considered resources to help promote AT2 tasks as well as AT1?
