GCSE (AQA) Paper Two - Reading Response Scaffolds and Model Answers

These resources are tailored to support teachers preparing students for the AQA, GCSE English Language exam, with a particular focus on Paper 2. They are suitable for students with additional needs such as dyslexia and autism because they include scaffolds to write their response. This is an effective way to prepare students to write answers independently.

As well as a practice paper, the unit provides writing scaffolds, model paragraphs and structured responses, to help students develop their skills in analyzing texts and constructing well-developed answers.

The two extracts are about experiences of avalanches, one in the 1800s and another contemporary.

The materials guide students through understanding how writers use language, structure, and setting to create meaning, with specific emphasis on autobiographical texts.

Additionally, for the writing section the resources offer detailed sentence frames and writing prompts, making them suitable for students who may benefit from extra support in breaking down tasks and building confidence in their writing.

The package includes sample responses to key exam questions using the scaffolds. These resources are perfect for helping students with additional needs master the skills required for creative reading and writing in the AQA curriculum.
