A Really Simple Guide to the General Election 2019 reading exercise

I saw this guide on the BBC website and thought it would be suitable for my Level 1 learners.  This text clearly has a limited shelf-life but is very topical and gives us a chance to discuss democracy as part of British values.  It is quite a detailed comprehension and I have included some Level 1 Reformed Functional Skills Reading questions e.g. explaining apostrophe use.  Whilst not expressly a Level 2 text, it does give a chance to discuss issues of fact, opinion and bias.

Editor's note

Covers many aspects of the new L1 reformed content - with the main focus on main points/detail and organisational/structural features. With detailed FS mapping and marking guidance.
