Great to match to NAPLAN criteria

You can easily search for a literary device that you are teaching, eg character, setting, along with any particular grammar/punctuation or text type. Great for programming, students engaged with the learning.

As a retired teacher. I wish I'd had access to Cleverbean during my career!

I love the ease of resources, ability to edit, ability to use in Google classroom. Bringing back the fun to learning and the use of rich literature is my favourite thing!!!! Well done Cleverbean!
