Year 8 English Language Exam Booklet

This booklet was created with our Year 8s in mind - and served as their Christmas English Language examination.

It covers:

Section A

• simple verbal reasoning
• connectives
• spelling

Section B

• creative writing
• composition / literary devices / authorial techniques.

It fit nicely into an hour and we found in terms of challenge it was in the perfect zone in between ‘not too easy’ and ‘not too hard’ - meaning there is a chance for pupils of all abilities to pick up marks and it will stretch higher ability pupils too.

The booklet would equally work well as something to give students to complete during a cover lesson for an hour or as a piece of class work that you as the English teacher could walk them through step-by-step.

Thanks for taking a look and I hope it’s useful :)
