Key Stage 3 English Kit

The three GCSE English Kits cover the main elements of the new 2002 specifications for GCSE English and English Literature of the core examination boards: AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR and WJEC. Each of the three books includes a helpful table showing examination board requirements, schemes of work, teachers’ guidance, and a variety of photocopiable resources.

The GCSE Kits can be used to supplement any scheme of work at GCSE level and to adapt existing courses to the new specifications. Together, they cover 28 of the most popular texts set by the four examination boards.

GCSE Kit: English

Provides resources to help teachers deliver the coursework and examination requirements of the new GCSE English specifications.

It is made up of 11 units based on the reading range requirements of the National Curriculum and GCSE, plus a unit of ‘Toolkit’ resources. These can be used with any text and are intended both as a revision of key skills taught in KS2 and KS3 and a support for specific activities within the three GCSE Kits.

By using the reading range as the basis for speaking and listening and writing for different purposes, all the required skills are covered in an integrated way. To view the contents and sample pages please click here.
