Whether your child is just starting at secondary school or is heading back for a new year of learning, it can be hard as a parent to understand what they're learning and to find the best way to support them with their studies.
And while many parents might shudder at the thought of sitting their GCSE's again, maybe you're one of those parents for whom mention of 成人快手 Bitesize brings a twinge of nostalgia? For nearly 25 years 成人快手 Bitesize resources have been invaluable to students and teachers alike.
And although Bitesize may be more well-known as a GCSE revision resource, it has evolved and now also delivers high quality secondary school content starting at KS3, with up to date resources that cover all aspects of the curriculum. And, in honour of it's 25th anniversary, it has had a whole new redesign, making it simpler for students and teachers to find the learning resources that they need, when they need them.
Here's a quick guide to what's on offer for your child - take a look and see how it can help them and you to navigate the secondary school curriculum, homework and school life.
Teachers agree that there is no need to spend hours sifting through resources to see if they are suitable for your child's curriculum. Bitesize already does that job, working with exam boards and education experts to create relevant content.
Each subject has content broken down into easy to use sections, and there are even separate exam board pages so that you and your child can really pinpoint what to revise.
Young people need more engaging ways to revise than learning by rote, and quizzes are a great way to get students to revise what they have been taught.
On the Bitesize website there are a whole host of new GSCE revision quizzes. Students can test their knowledge on Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography on these exam style quizzes which are based on GCSE past papers.
The quizzes are designed to improve students鈥 skills in answering exam-style questions. Your child can see what they need to improve on as the quizzes give useful feedback if they're struggling to answer the question correctly.
Bitesize has some excellent, engaging revision podcasts. Podcasts are a really great way for students to revise what they have previously been taught, especially those young people who struggle to revise in a more traditional way.
They're great for your child to listen to on the journey to and from school or at home when they feel too tired to revise using their workbooks.
Made in partnership with 成人快手 Sounds, these GCSE Biology and English Literature podcasts offer students a way of revising on the go when they don鈥檛 have a textbook to-hand.
From the classics of Jane Eyre to Meera Syal鈥檚 Anita & Me, the English literature podcasts recap everything from the plot summary to key quotes to give students tips for answering exam questions.
The Biology podcasts are hosted by Dr Alex Lathbridge and revise key GCSE biology topics including infection and response, ecology and even science exam techniques.
There are also study support podcasts to help students through the stressful revision season, covering how to 鈥楽tudy Smart鈥 and how to survive the exams. The mental wellbeing of students is so important and the study support podcasts are really beneficial in offering advice and support to guide them through this period.
When your child is trying to find curriculum resources it can take lots of valuable time to trawl through endless websites looking for what they need. But if they use Bitesize on a daily basis they can easily find KS3 content on subjects like maths and English, as well as music and religious studies.
The core subjects on the website have been completely refreshed, with lots more interactivity and video content to help engage learners.
Students no longer learn via textbooks and worksheets alone, many teachers use games in lessons to embed learning.
The Bitesize website is great for this - with age appropriate, student friendly content.
For September there are new and updated games including History Detectives, Atomic Labs (Science), Planet Planners (Geography) and Divided Islands (Maths).
Divided Islands is great as a starter activity for teachers in maths - it lets the user choose what topics they want the game to cover, so your child will feel like they are playing games, but they'll also be recapping on their learning.

Divided Islands challenges students to answer questions on fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios.
As mentioned before, mental health is a concern with the pressures of exam season and school life in general and the Bitesize website isn鈥檛 just for academic content. Bitesize Study Support is the go-to place to offer support to students for not only their studies but other life challenges too. There are great tips and advice to help with revision, exam stress, bullying and more. The wellbeing section offers advice on topics that affect them.
There is lots for them and for you to explore - take a look - Bitesize is bigger and better than ever.
