Espresso extras: Overview

We're pleased to offer a range of additional extras that extend learning opportunities.

These products and services include extensions to Espresso that are only available to existing subscribers, and a number of 'stand-alone' learning resources that can be purchased and enjoyed by schools, home educators and parents.

Espresso extras: Pupil Home Access

Pupil Home Access is chargeable and enhances a school's subscription to Espresso. It offers opportunities for pupils to continue learning from home.

Pupil Home Access provides pupils and their parents with a Home learning area with a Parents' guide.

Learning at home with Espresso will:

• Help to develop and promote school-to-home links
• Integrate Espresso into homework
• Provide a range of interactive resources across all key stages for children to work on independently

Espresso extras: Content Club Archive

A collection of nine high quality regional modules that add considerable depth to Espresso's curriculum coverage.

Espresso extras: Books

We've teamed up with leading publisher Franklin Watts, part of Hachette Books, to produce three series of children's books featuring the Espresso characters and supporting literacy and topic work.

These books are available in hardback and paperback:

• Phonics: supports the teaching of reading through synthetic phonics
• Story Time: captures pupils' imagination and builds their reading confidence
• Ideas Box: full of information, activities and ideas for exploring popular topics in a cross-curricular way

These beautifully illustrated books provide a fun insight into the lives and personalities of the Espresso characters that pupils love. All the books include puzzles, activities and an 'Espresso Connections' section which suggests complementary resources on Espresso.

The Espresso books are available for everyone to purchase. To see the full range of books and prices, visit the Channel 4 Learning shop.
