Edexcel GCSE (9-1) History Foundation Anglo-Saxon and Norman England, c1060–88 Student book

How have we made the Foundation-level student books more accessible?

• We’ve reduced the level of the language to remove difficult words or phrases when possible.
• The content covered on each spread matches the core GCSE textbooks making it easy to use both versions together in a mixed ability classroom.
• More of the difficult words that students need to know are explained in key terms boxes, with definitions repeated through the books to reinforce learning.
• We've made our explanations more accessible for students targeting a grade 5 or below.
• Where possible, we’ve replaced paragraphs of text with easy-tounderstand flow diagrams, mind maps or charts so there is significantly less text on the pages for students to tackle.
• The level of demand in the activities has been reduced and some of the harder ones removed.
• Exam tips have been re-focused to offer advice so that students of all abilities can secure as many marks as possible.
• The ‘Preparing for your exam’ chapters have been thoroughly rewritten with answers and commentary for students working towards a grade 5.
• New artworks have been added to make explanations more visual.
