Designed as an end of year activity for an Entry 3 – Level 1 literacy class at Abingdon and Witney College. Use as individual worksheets, a group class exercise, paired work, homework or a quiz.

Another resource in our popular Chomwell Green series (see below). A lovely shared text with a touch of humour!

Includes suggested exercises and teaching ideas.
