What do teachers say about this resource? (1602)
If my department were to purchase "Holes", wild horses wouldn't stop me from purchasing this resource... As with the other activity books that I have reviewed, this is a thorough, engaging and well-presented resource [which] matches the English National Curriculum guidelines perfectly... The author seems to have a genuine awareness of what teachers and pupils require when studying a novel. I would be happy to recommend this resource.
A useful and engaging resource pack that can be used to develop skills and fit in with SOW. It was accessible and as an NQT I found it invaluable.
The students found the resources engaging.
Allows teachers to focus on teaching a range of skills. Thanks for the opportunity to review another great resource.
These are the best resources I have seen from ZigZag... It is time saving and thorough
It is very detailed, teacher and student friendly, and useful, I would purchase and use it. It gets students to think about the text, use inference, deduction, and textual reference, which all enhance learning and match the English curriculum and literacy strategy.
Good value with a wide range of activities.
Attractive graphics
Comprehensive and thorough, covering all of the chapters; well-presented with different fonts and good use of graphics to create visual interest.
