GCSE AQA A Learning Grids
A brilliant new idea designed to support weaker students. Students have to read their textbook/notes to complete a grid of questions in exact specification order. Cross-referenced for 4 of the most popular GCSE AQA A textbooks to ensure a structured reading of the text.

- Fills in the gaps to ensure the whole specification is covered!
- An easy-to-set, yet valuable homework option.
- Requires minimal preparation and interaction from the teacher — great for cover lessons!
