Key Links is developed by Jill Eggleton, educationalist and author of Sails Literacy and Connectors. Jill has spent the past few years working with teachers and planning an innovative way to support readers and teachers. Key Links is the result.

Time-poor teachers need the very best support to ensure reading success for all students. After working with teachers for many years, I know that teachers need more support today than ever before due to the pressures and challenges of today’s classrooms. Key Links is a solution to this problem. It provides teachers with explicit guidance on every page, in every book. It is a complete toolbox for the teaching of reading.
