What teachers and parents are saying about Oxford Owl

"I love Oxford Owl. I think it is a great resource for parents. It helps us with creative new ideas of things to do with the kids. My children love it too and it is something we enjoy together."
Angela Dryer
Teacher and parent

"The Oxford Owl site is an excellent tool for parents to use at home and works nicely alongside the ORT texts that we use in school and send home. The ebooks are very popular and the games and puzzles help with early comprehension skills. This website has been an excellent starting point for our parents and also takes some of the pressure off already busy teachers, when providing extra activities for parents to do at home."
Louise Hewthes
Reception Teacher

"This website is fantastic; it has everything for my 6 year old who loves reading and also my 10 year old who has been struggling with phonic's and reading. Well done!."
