7 GCSE literature revision booklets 2025

11 Resources
7 attractive and informative literature revision booklets covering the following 7 popular GCSE texts. I have compiled my most popular resources for each set text into 7 easy to print pdfs. There are also word versions if you wish to edit and add to the booklets yourself. The 7 texts that are covered should hopefully cover the 4 set texts you will be studying or teaching: Macbeth Romeo and Juliet (98 pages) A Christmas Carol (56 pages) Power and Conflict (51 pages) An Inspector Calls (43 pages) Lord of the Flies (46 pages) Animal Farm All the booklets contain knowledge organisers, revision cards, plot/knowledge tests, high grade model exemplars, writing frames, support with planning and much more. Please look at the previews to sample the wide range of resources on offer. Can be printed in A4 or A3. Some pages may benefit from an A3 print out.

Speed Marking reading and writing responses.

3 Resources
Sheets to assist with speed marking. This will save you the time-consuming job of writing out the full targets while not compromising the specificity of your marking. The reading response sheet should work with any reading/comprehension response to a text where students are expecting to answer in PEE style paragraphs. The writing response sheet should work with any task in which students produce a creative response. The 20 targets are differentiated - starting with the basics before moving on to higher skills.
Speed Marking Sheet - useful for marking any reading response to a text.

Speed Marking Sheet - useful for marking any reading response to a text.

Using this marking code will speed up your marking without compromising the quality and specificity of your marking because it moves the time-consuming job of writing the targets from you to the students. Your marking will look something like this: WWW 1. 3. 7. EBI 4. 10. 15. Read the work and select 3 ways they have met the generic success criteria (WWW) and 3 ways they can improve further (EBI). The students have to then write out the target before trying to meet the target. The 20 criteria start with the basics of using P.E.E. to more advanced targets such as exploring more than one interpretation and commenting on the overall structure of the text. They should work with any text. Also includes a version for A level English literature.
