Resources to open or download

This page has links to files you can open or download. They are written in Microsoft Word (doc.) and Portable Document File (PDF) formats. What's the difference? Word (document) files will take much longer to open, but you can edit them and save your changes. PDF files will open very quickly - you can print them or view them on your computer, but you cannot edit them or save changes. These files contain worksheets written by Jill Stubbs and Kay Pillinger for the East Riding of Yorkshire LEA.
