Educational Resources for UK Schools & Teachers

123 Publishing House produces educational books, wall charts, workbooks and classroom learning materials for children in the early years and primary age range. Our resources are designed to be used the way teachers actually use them — displayed on a classroom wall, worked through page by page, or shared at the kitchen table at home.

The company was founded in 1999 and its head office is in Morden, London. Teachers, schools, parents and home educators can browse and order the full range directly through this website.

Educational Resources for Schools in the UK

Good learning resources do one thing well: they make an idea visible. A chart on the wall keeps a spelling rule in a child's line of sight all week. A workbook gives a pupil something to do with their hands while a concept settles. A picture book gives a reluctant reader a reason to turn the page.

The range on this site is built around that principle and covers the areas most primary teachers plan for:

• Classroom learning — display materials and reference charts that support what is being taught that term.
• Visual learning — large-format charts designed to be read from the back of a room.
• Literacy development — phonics, blends and digraphs, parts of speech, reading and writing skills.
• Mathematics — number recognition, counting, shapes, sets and patterns for early and lower primary.
• Science — the human body, the senses, body systems, health and hygiene.
• Early learning — the alphabet, colours, shapes, emotions, community and everyday objects.
• Independent learning — activity books and worksheets a child can work through with light supervision.
• Home education — the same materials, sized and priced for a single learner rather than a full class.
• Teacher preparation — downloadable worksheets supplied with many chart packs.
• Classroom displays — welcome charts, calendars, weather charts and motivational sets.

Schools, nurseries and training centres ordering in volume can request institutional pricing through the school and bulk orders enquiry form.

Supporting Learning in the Classroom and at Home

The materials fall into a few practical formats, each suited to a different moment in the learning day.

Visual learning materials

Wall charts stay up. That is their advantage over a worksheet — a child sees the same information dozens of times without a lesson being spent on it. Charts printed for classroom use need to be legible from a distance and survive a school year, and the packs in this range are laminated with a write-on, wipe-off surface for exactly that reason.

Educational books

Picture books and first books give younger children a reason to engage with print before they can decode it independently. Browse children's picture books or explore first books for early learners.

Workbooks

Structured practice, one skill at a time. Useful for consolidation, homework and holiday catch-up. Browse educational workbooks and activity books.

Classroom wall charts

More than 200 wall charts are available in English, sold as single charts or as themed packs of six. Explore educational wall charts for classrooms.

Subject resources

Literacy covers the alphabet, phonics, grammar, reading and writing. Mathematics concentrates on counting, number formation, shapes, sets and patterns for the early and lower primary years. Science is served mainly through human body and health charts that give children something concrete to look at while an abstract system is explained. Early learning material is bright, simple and high-contrast, for children still building basic recognition.

Educational Wall Charts for UK Classrooms

Wall charts are the most heavily used part of this range, and the collection has grown to several hundred titles across both single charts and six-chart themed packs.

How teachers use them:

• Primary classrooms — a permanent visual reference for the current topic, changed each half-term.
• Learning corners — a small cluster of related charts turns a corner into a self-service reference point.
• Reading areas — genre charts, reading-skills charts and alphabet charts anchor a book corner.
• Maths activities — number and shape charts with a write-on surface double as a whole-class working space.
• Science lessons — body and senses diagrams give a shared reference during explanation and recap.
• Home learning spaces — a single chart above a desk does the same job in a bedroom as in a classroom.

What the packs typically include. Six-chart packs commonly come with downloadable worksheets, QR codes linking to audio-visual versions of the charts, and reusable wall-safe adhesive so charts can be mounted without marking paintwork. Contents vary by title — the individual product page lists exactly what is in each pack.

You can filter the collection by product language (English or Arabic), by age band from 3+ through 8+, and by format. For a UK primary setting, the English-language packs are the relevant starting point.

Educational Books for Children

First books are built for the youngest children — thick pages, single concepts, strong images. They introduce colours, shapes, numbers, opposites and first words. Explore first books for early learners.

Picture books carry a story. For primary-age children they support vocabulary building, comprehension and the habit of reading for pleasure rather than for instruction. Browse children's picture books.

Educational packs bundle books with related materials for a single topic, which suits a nursery or reception setting where one theme runs for several weeks. Browse educational learning packs.

For a class reading corner, a mixed selection across the age bands usually works better than a single-level set — browse by ages 3–4, ages 5–6, ages 7–8 and ages 9–10.

English Language & Literacy Resources

Literacy is the largest subject area in the range. The English-language chart packs move roughly in the order most primary literacy schemes follow:

• Language Arts — the alphabet, capital and lower-case letters, consonants and vowel sounds, with a write-on chart included.
• Blends & Digraphs — the next phonics step, for children moving beyond single letter sounds.
• Parts of Speech — nouns, verbs, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and adjectives.
• Grammar Foundations — sentence construction and verb tenses.
• Reading Skills — the major genres of literature and what good readers do.
• Writing Skills 1, Writing Skills 2 and Good Writing — paragraph structure, story planning, letter and report writing, and sensory vocabulary.

Alongside the charts, My ABC is an activity book built around sound and letter recognition for early phonics.

Mathematics Learning Resources

The maths materials concentrate on the foundation years, where visual representation does most of the work.

• Preschool Maths — numbers and shapes for children before formal schooling, with a write-on, wipe-off chart.
• Early Maths — numbers 1–10, sets, patterns and shapes.
• Numbers & Shapes and Counting & Shapes — number recognition and counting practice for display.

For written practice, Let's Count covers counting and sequencing, and Sequence & Position covers ordering and positional language — both useful for early years and Reception-age children.

The write-on surface is the practical point here: a number line or shapes chart that can be written on and wiped clean becomes a daily starter activity rather than a static poster.

Science Educational Resources

Science charts work best where the subject is something a child cannot see directly — inside the body, or how a system fits together.

• Me & My Body — the five senses, body parts and emotions, pitched at younger children.
• Cross Sections of Human Senses — detailed diagrams of the sense organs.
• Exploring the Human Body — the head, heart, circulatory system and cell structure.
• Vital Body Systems 1 — the digestive system and other major systems.
• Healthy Habits — handwashing, dental care and germs, which sits as comfortably in a PSHE lesson as a science one.

Teachers should review each product page against their own scheme of work before ordering, as the charts are produced for an international market rather than to a single national specification.

Early Learning Resources

For nurseries, pre-school settings and parents of three- and four-year-olds:

• Early Learning Charts — community, body parts, things that go, the alphabet, emotions and jobs, in bright colours designed for very young children.
• Preschool Charts — letter formation, numbers, shapes, colours and clothes.
• Colours & Shapes — an activity book from the early learning series for ages 3+.

The whole early years range can be browsed together under resources for ages 3–4, and there is a free collection of educational songs that pairs with the early learning material at no cost.

Educational Workbooks & Learning Packs

Workbooks provide what a chart cannot: a record of what a child has actually done.

The English-language activity books currently in the range are My ABC, Colours & Shapes, Let's Count and Sequence & Position, aimed at ages 3+ and 4+. Browse the full activity book collection.

Learning packs bundle books and materials around one theme, which suits a topic-led half-term or a home educator working through a subject in a block. Browse educational learning packs.

Many chart packs also include free downloadable worksheets, so a display purchase brings written practice with it.

Who These Resources Are For

Educational Resources for the UK Market

123 Publishing House has been publishing educational materials since 1999, and its head office is at 12 London Road, Morden, London SM4 5BQ. Resources are supplied to teachers, schools and families internationally, and orders can be placed directly through this website.

The materials are written and produced in English for an international education market. They are not published to any single national specification, so teachers and educational buyers should review individual product pages against their own scheme of work and select the titles that fit their planning. Age guidance from 3+ to 9+ is shown on each product, and the collection filters make it straightforward to narrow the range to one key stage's worth of material.

For institutional purchasing, bulk pricing, procurement queries or product recommendations, use the school and bulk orders enquiry form. Bookshops and distributors have a separate ordering route.

Educational Catalogues & Resources

The most current view of the range is the website itself — collections are updated as titles are added, which a printed catalogue cannot match.

Start with all educational products, or go straight to wall charts, activity books, picture books, first books or learning packs. There is also a free collection of educational songs.

Schools that would like a product list prepared for a specific year group or budget can request one through the school and bulk orders enquiry form.
