This guide provides an overview of the different kinds of resources available to track the expansion of elementary education through the voluntary sector at the start of the 19th century, the increasing involvement of the state in its funding and organisation, as well as the development of a professional knowledge base to support these activities. Over this period the resources for literacy teaching in use in schools changed, developing in tandem with the growth of the elementary sector and the specific pedagogic challenges it poses for teaching. The guide represents a selection of the historical resources used by Professor Gemma Moss (https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=PJGMO52) for her ESRC Fellowship on Literacy Attainment and Data Discourse (http://literacyattainmentdataanddiscourse.blogspot.com/). There are links to the Library's Special Collections (http://libguides.ioe.ac.uk/specialcollections) scattered throughout the guide as well as links to relevant resources held at Senate House, the University of London's main library. The URL link to the current live guide (to December 2018) is found here: https://libguides.ioe.ac.uk/literacyattainment.
