A set of 10 Edexcel-style Foundation Tier photo card tasks, with questions, suggested follow-up questions and model answers. For pair work or modelling to the class.

A set of eight Edexcel-style Foundation role plays to read and adapt for the new 2026 GCSE exam.

I have posted a set of 8 role-plays in the AQA style (GCSE 2026, first teaching 2024), Foundation Tier. Students see their instructions on the left (as in a test), then on the right a model set of questions and answers. The idea is for pairs to practise reading aloud thse models, then adapting them with other answers as far as they are able to.

I have written a third GCSE (2026) Reading paper in line with specimens. This one is an AQA-style Foundation paper. With answers. These take a while to put together!

Six verb table grids to complete for Y12 revision. For completion and rote learning (if you value that). 15 verbs covered. Present indicative, present subjunctive, imperfect, future, conditional, passé composé. This supplements the previous six grids already on the site.

Don't forget the subscriber surbey linked on this page!

A text with exercises about the new policy to have ability/attainment groups for French and maths in French schools (sixième and cinquième, at first). Vocab to find, questions on the text, discussion questions and writing. Good for Y12 or Y13 - quite easy for them. CEFR B1.

Another dialogue for reading in pairs and adapting. This is about climate change and the environment. Higher GCSE. CEFR A2.

I've uploaded a new dialogue to add to the collection. This one is 'geeting to know you'. Pupils read the original in pairs, then make changes to parts in bold, using suggestions on the right. There are many others like this on the site. This one is for Y10, but could be used with fast younger groups. CEFR A1/2.

I have created a document, based on four blog posts, about teaching A-level. It includes links out to blog posts, so is pretty comprehensive, covering principles, working with texts, teaching film and literature, and preparing students for assessment. This would make a good handout for teachers new to teaching A-level. It is in the A-Level section and on the Free Samples page.

I've posted a second GCSE Higher Reading and Understanding paper based, this time, on the Pearson-Edexcel specimen. Answers given. These can be used for other purposes, of course, including end-of-year exams.
