This is an excellent source of high level materials geared towards the new GCSE specification with new exercises such as the translations from and into English . In my opinion the foundation and higher tier worksheets have the right level and I quite like the fact that there is a Medium level which is great for both tiers. Also I like that most of the reading texts are quite current and might be of great interest to the students, such as the texts on the famous people.

The articles are very topical and of interest to adolescent learners. There is clear progression from comprehension to productive skills. The follow-up activities are very well structured and encourage students to use new language to express themselves. The differentiation is very clear and there is clear development to more advanced language.It provides much need variety beyond the typical text book.
