"I remember using the Case books when I first qualified in 1995 and they're still excellent for use in the classroom now, albeit their relevance to the national curriculum makes it harder to find appropriate opportunities. I thought they were still in print? As booklets they're of excellent quality and I still pick up the odd copy at sales or markets. They must be one of the most photocopied history books ever created.
I hope you can find some way of having them reprinted and published.
I've looked at your web site and think it's well presented but would need more by way of materials and activities that would encourage teachers and students to have a look."

"In the department I work in at school we still have those books!"

"Came across your site through Education Forum. As a history teacher from 1980 onwards these books are very familiar to me."

"I remember using these when I was at school. My department has copies of both the First and Second World War books ... what a treasure!"

"The SL Case books were very popular and with a little modification to match the National Curriculum could in my view certainly be marketed again.
Any idea where I could get my hands on some of them??
As with any resource it depended on how you used them, but they proved invaluable to me in many lessons in my early years of teaching.
The concept of differentiated resources for the less able is certainly still very current - especially in a school like mine which is in a selective area - we take the bottom 60% of the ability range."

"I remember the books of SL Case from my earliest years in teaching. They were very clear, extremely student friendly (for the day) and particularly helpful when looking for differentiated resources in a world of Snellgrove et al."	" ...lots of copying, blank filling and drawing, but depending on how you used them, could be a real boon."
I've always looked back on the SL Case Knowing History series with some fondness - they helped me out of many a tight spot on teaching practice more years ago than I care to remember.
