A set of ten very short literary extracts with exercises. These are specifically to help students prepare for the new GCSE reading exams (higher tier) to be done in June 2018. Answers are provided. I would use them in Y11 for practice.

Low advanced video listening (AS-level). Bullying at school. From the 1jour1question series. Gap-fill from a choice of words and questions in French. This would work well in a sequence of lessons about education issues and should generate good discussion.
