1. Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM) should be viewed as an integral part of the implementation of the National Curriculum Statement (NCS). They are important in the learning process as they enhance delivery of the learning outcomes and assessment standards and promote knowledge, understanding, skills and values.
2. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) realises the importance of LTSM in mediating learning, and the Directorate: Curriculum Development, in collaboration with Edulis, has designed resource lists for Grades 4 - 9 according to the knowledge foci of the NCS.
3. Edulis is the WCED library service which provides resources on loan, free of charge.
4. Attached please find the Edulis resource lists.
They are also available at the following website:
