Is it worth reading books for later in the year?

[Butterscotch]

Yup! Having a read through the book you'll do later in the year helps a lot (to me anyway). I've been doing this since year 7 and highlighted important quotes from the books, aswell as identifying the metalanguages. And believe me, this method has not disappointed me yet.

Oh, and just incase, you'd want any help with the Essays, there's a really good book published by Excel (Excel Essential Skills - English workbook year 10). It has Step-by-Step writing techniques; as well as a variety of text types. It might help

Good luck!

You're a keen reader

I've no trouble reading books now. But now that I think of it, I did make one thread asking how to pick up a book.

It takes me a while to read so I my main question really was, read unit 3 books again, in greater detail. Or, start reading unit 4 books as well.

Essays you ask? Well I have the AN English study guide for that

I recommend you read/watch as many of your texts during the holiday period as possible - it helps you develop a greater insight into the texts over time.

However, if reading's not your thing, you could always only read the first one or two texts you'll be doing.

I used to just hate reading. I was never really enticed into a book, but I realised that I wasn't reading far enough and sure enough, it's worked out
