| Shakespearean speeches | Some of the most famous speeches in Shakespeare's plays. |
| Gospels from King James Bible | There is a lot of English literature which is influenced by the Authorised Version of the Bible, known as King James Bible. Here is a different way to see the Gospels. The four gospels are laid out, side by side, so you can see how they treat different episodes, and who covers what. |

Games | |
| Typing practice | Most writing now takes place using word processors, and for that, you need to be able to type. This game gives you practise in finding the letters on the keyboard. A complete beginner can acquire enough confidence to be able to tackle typing complete sentences without giving up in despair! |
| Robot alphabet | This is a game for very young children (of all ages!) You type in a letter and the robot does something. You can try typing at random, or figure out what the different letters do. It works a little like an old fashioned alphabet book, but based on adjectives and verbs rather than nouns (different actions). There are colours, directions, sizes, and actions. |
| Make words from letters | A common word game, but this version isn't timed, which makes it less frenetic. |
| Coded quotes | Decode a quote! |
| Specific interactive text convertors for my own use, but anyone else is welcome to use it, if they want. | |
