These linked email and SMS texts (and associated worksheets) are great for teaching non-fiction reading to KS4 and KS5 students working at Pre-GCSE level.
The questions are tailored to encourage discussion with the students about reading exam questions carefully, looking for key words and how to tackle “two point” questions.
It might be useful to have further examples of text messages ready to discuss - most of my students thought the phone was Tom’s - which demonstrates the value of this activity in terms of Life Skills as well as preparing for exams!
This activity was made for students working towards the Edexcel Entry Level 1 English paper, but could be used as a starter exercise or confidence-booster for students doing functional skills or working at the next level up.
This activity could also be used for teaching English as a foreign language.
