Excellent. A comprehensive pack [that] delivers far more than the title suggests... I particularly liked how teaching strategies that could be delivered across a period of time.

An excellent and very comprehensive resource which meets all requirements...

Extremely useful and very logical in the way information was presented.
I really liked the targets at the beginning and the targets to help teachers mark efficiently. This is something we will definitely adopt in our department.
The papers are very closely linked to authentic exam papers and so students will become familiar with the layout, the content and the structure of the papers. The notes for teachers helps less experience members of the team plan good lessons and encourages them to feel confident in the information they share with students.
Good examples of how to answer some of the questions... Gives [students] exposure to non-fiction texts.
What do teachers say about this resource? (7433)
A useful and effective resource for use in the classroom or as individual papers for students to complete as homework. The instructions are sufficiently straightforward and clear for students to work through the activities at their own pace, even without the presence of a teacher... The range of reading materials is interesting... The sample answers are very useful for students to understand the progression of skills.
A good set of resources with helpful sample answers... The text choices are good and the questions are in line with samples from the exam board... A time-saving resource that is a good demonstration of the type of text the board might select for Component 1.
