Technical help:

To get the most out of this topic area you need the following 'plug-ins':

• RTF format
  The worksheets are in Rich Text Format (RTF). Most word processors can view and edit RTF files, unlike some word processing files which need particular software. If you are a Microsoft Word user, you won't notice any difference between an RTF file and a Word document. If your learners are visually impaired, these worksheets are screen reader accessible. Lastly, like Microsoft Word documents, RTF files are editable, so you can change or customise the worksheets to suit your learners. We hope you find this useful!
