I plan to give the reading paper to my GCSE students early in the year and then set the listening paper on which it is based a few months later. I have made very slight changes to the transcript. I wonder if this will help improve their listening skills. I suppose it is worth a try. The 6 page paper can be copied double sided onto 3 pages to save on photocopying. It is out of 60 marks like the actual GCSE Foundation Tier Reading Paper. The paper also appears on ppt. so that you can discuss the answers with your students.
