What do teachers say about this resource? (7422)
This is an excellent resource for vocab revision. It really engages the students, reinforeces vocab skills and it is really well structured. It is a very useful tool to engage students of all abilities. It matches the AQA specifications perfectly.
An excellent collection of activities covering all areas of the course presented in a clear, accessible and engaging way. The activities are structured to ensure pupils take ownership of their progress. They are able to start their vocab practice at any stage within each unit and work at their own pace. They are given an opportunity to contextualise the vocab at the end of each unit which aids retention and understanding.
This resource covers a whole range of abilities and will really encourage students to learn important vocabulary. There is a variety of activities for the students to do and they are not all exam-style, so are accessible.

Fantastic resource giving students the chance to widen their vocabulary in an independent and friendly format. It is invaluable in saving the teacher preparation time.
Fantastic resource. Straight forward exercises that meet the requirements of the new AQA spec (...) I like the variety of activities and I like also the build up from single words to sentences (put in context activities) . I think that there are lots of good exercises!
Very logical and well structured. Using a lot of repetition of activities to recycle language and introduce new content.
The simple ideas behind the activity types make it ideal for starter or review activities. I particularly like the three sections, A, B and C which allow for testing, moving from single words through sentences to paragraphs.
