 Book Overview: Flashbacks are well-established as a high-quality and popular historical fiction series. The Victorian period is a popular unit of study in the KS2 curriculum. The series boasts Carnegie Medal-shortlisted authors Theresa Tomlinson and Garry Kilworth. 'Fiction to support the History curriculum is not a novel idea, but not all of it has been as well-conceived and written as Flashbacks' - The Guardian. 'History is brought to life in vivid, compelling involvement' - School Librarian. The Flashback Literacy Resources have been published to support the novels and encourage their use in class sets in primary schools. Contains 20+ photocopiable activities. But teachers don't need to buy all four novels to gain excellent value for money - activities can be adapted to suit any text, and the book also includes general activities. Each lesson is fully supported by instructions, including time limits, list of requirements, and links to NLS framework. Writing tasks vary in length and complexity. Extension activities are offered for more ambitious lessons.
