The GCSE English and English Literature Revision Guide is designed to help your students to work effectively on their own as they prepare for their exams in GCSE English and English Literature. Special reference is made to the AQA 'A' specifications but the principles covered can be more generally applied.

Discounts on class sets

The books are designed for student use and for distribution through schools. Large discounts on class sets mean that they can be sold on to students at a cost well below the cover price.

Complete coverage

After an opening section providing general advice, separate sections cover each part of the GCSE English and English Literature exams, addressing essential principles. A guide to technical terms and their application is also provided.

Differentiated activities

To cater for the full ability range, many of the activities are divided into easy, less easy, and hard. This allows students to start with the easy activities, and work their way through, or to start with the less easy or hard activities.

A comprehensive glossary of relevant technical terms is included.
