Curated, not crawled.

The big resource sites have a problem

The biggest teacher-resource sites advertise hundreds of thousands of resources — sometimes nearly a million. Sounds great. Until you actually try to find one good one.

Search for "Year 4 fractions" on a volume site and you'll get hundreds of results: differentiated, decade-old, AI-generated, accidentally-misaligned, half-broken, regional-curriculum-specific. Some are excellent. Many are filler. The teacher's job becomes filtering — and filtering takes the time you were trying to save.

So we made the opposite

LessonKind has fewer resources on purpose. Every PDF is reviewed before it goes live. We add new ones regularly, but volume isn't the goal — fit is.

How we're different — concretely

It's not better-or-worse, it's different

If you NEED massive volume — a special interest, a niche topic, a particular regional curriculum framework — bigger sites probably win. We're not trying to be everything. LessonKind is for teachers who'd rather have a smaller library that works well than a bigger one that wastes their time.

What we've built deepest

The catalogue covers the full primary curriculum — math, English, science, social studies, geography, languages, computing, art, music, PE — across Pre-K through Grade 6. Standard fare for any resource library.

What's unusual is the depth in the topics most resource sites taper off on:

1. EAL & New Arrivals (19 resources) — survival vocabulary, sentence stems, communication boards, parent welcome packs. Built for the day a child arrives speaking no English.
2. SEND & Inclusion (20 resources) — autism-friendly classroom adjustments, ADHD strategies, dyslexia-friendly practice, sensory toolkits, emotional regulation supports.
3. Behavior & Trauma-Informed Practice (52 resources combined) — first-week routines, restorative scripts, ACEs-aware strategies, behavior-as-communication frameworks, support for vulnerable children.
4. EYFS & Early Years (27 resources) — continuous provision planning, observation prompts, pre-phonics, subitising cards, Reception-to-Year-1 transition packs.
5. Parent Communication (37 resources) — newsletters, parents' evening prep, difficult conversation scripts, end-of-year reports, suspected-SEND first-conversation templates.
6. Cover Day & Supply (18 resources) — self-contained KS1/KS2 cover lessons, classroom info templates, supply teacher survival guides, end-of-day handover sheets.
7. Wraparound Care (19 resources) — staff induction packs, breakfast and after-school routines, late-pickup protocols, holiday club themed weeks, snack policies. For the team that runs the bookend hours of the school day.
8. Long-form editorial articles (215 pieces) — substantial pieces on phonics screening, ability grouping, school refusal, anxiety, ADHD, restorative practice, EAL silent period and more. Worth sharing at staff INSET.
9. Country-aware grade labels. Set your country once. Everywhere on the site, grade labels show YOUR equivalent — Year 4, Grade 3, 2nd Class, whatever. (Try the chip in the footer.)
10. Editorial standards. A public document explaining how resources are made and reviewed. Read it.
