Curriculum Bitesize is a free 12-page supplement that goes out with Insight magazine three times a year. The pages are designed to be photocopiable so that articles can be shared freely among teachers and parents.
Bitesize focuses on inclusive classroom teaching, highlighting a different curriculum subject in every issue. It is packed with hints and tips to help teachers understand some of the ways that they can support learners who are blind and partially sighted in their curriculum subject area.
The articles are written by teachers with experience in teaching children with sight problems.
