For pre-service teachers
Towards Teaching
Build your literacy and numeracy confidence before you step into the classroom.
Towards Teaching is designed specifically for pre-service teachers who want to strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills as they progress through their teaching degree.
Start by identifying where you are now, focus your practice where it matters most, and see how your skills develop over time.

A short look at how Towards Teaching helps you focus your literacy and numeracy practice.
Start with where you are
Begin with a short practice diagnostic across literacy and numeracy.
Towards Teaching uses your results to identify areas for further development and help focus your practice.
No endless banks of random questions. Your practice is directed towards the areas where it can be most useful.
Practise. Understand. Improve.
Build your skills with:
- Targeted literacy practice
- Targeted numeracy practice
- Immediate explanations and feedback
- Practice based on your areas for development
- Timed activities to develop pacing
- Study guides and practical preparation strategies
- Progress tracking
- Practice history
It’s not just about getting an answer right.
Towards Teaching helps you understand the skills behind the question so you can recognise what you know, where you’re getting stuck and what to work on next.
