A fantastic Higher resource which has lots of great texts fully relevant to the specification and that they are all at the right level with lots of challenging words. I like very much the wide choice of texts on many different topics: marriage, LGTB, tourism, culture, football... It offers students the opportunity to learn new vocabulary in context and it offers great opportunity to practice answering comprehension questions for the reading exam and also translating from Spanish to English... Great resource, many thanks for letting me review it

It's a really nice resource and one which I believe students will engage well with. It covers the breadth of themes required. The articles contain a great level of vocabulary and structure and the range of questions is also good to promote understanding and thinking. The educational value promotes thinking skills and covers moral areas, as well as cultural areas. It enables further speaking work to be conducted based around the articles so can be used as a speaking prompt.
