Click on the buttons above to download simple guides to both English Language papers (AQA). They’re designed to help support students navigate through the various requirements of each paper.

I’ve always found it difficult to hit the sweet spot where I give students enough information, but too much. You can be the judge on whether I’ve been successful. Each booklet contains fifteen pages, although that can definitely be reduced because I’ve been quite generous with spacing. Both guides are designed to be printed double-sided and stapled.

There are three main sections:

  1. Overview (inc. 2026 changes)
  2. Reading (inc. toolkits)
  3. Writing (inc. mistakes to avoid)

The snips below should give you an idea of style, content and formatting…

You’ll naturally want to tweak bits and add in stuff of your own. That should be easy to do.

Cheers –

Doug
