Ed's Reading Room for 5-9 olds in homes and schools has been developed by Maggie Humphreys and Les Snowdon. They are the founding partners of Ed on the Web which is a registered provider for Curriculum Online (DfES), the UK government's educational website.

Maggie is a teacher with more than 25 years’ experience in primary and secondary schools. Recognising the substantial learning benefits that children can gain from using the Internet, Maggie has applied her knowledge and experience of children’s learning processes to create an online club - Ed's Reading Room - to excite children’s imagination, develop their love of reading and help them learn in a fun, interactive way.

Ed on the Web has received a DTI SMART Innovation Award and was commissioned by The Guardian’s Learn website to create English and Maths curriculum content. Cable TV provider Telewest recommends Ed on the Web as a ’best homework help’ website and Web User magazine, the UK’s largest selling Internet magazine, gives Ed on the Web 4* (out of 5).

Maggie Humphreys and Les Snowdon are both enthusiastic walkers and together are authors of six books on fitness walking, published internationally in more than ten countries. You can find out more about fitness walking and Les and Maggie’s books at www.walking.org or email:
