Lifelines is a literacy resource for schools created by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph and produced by educational publishers Rising Stars.

Using history and geography as contexts, Lifelines presents multi-modal texts that blend audio, video and imagery to tell nine engaging autobiographical accounts of young people across the world and through time.

Encourages pupils to engage with and appreciate the characters, plot, settings and language.

Provides plenty of opportunities for reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Includes an asset bank of pictures, text and sound files for pupils to create their own multi-modal stories.

The accompanying Teacher's Book includes support for planning, activities and links to APP Assessment Criteria.
