Boost grades with quick and effective ways to acquire and improve the skill of reading for understanding, analysis and evaluation, which is worth 30% of the overall mark.

This Answers and Marking Schemes book accompanies the National 5 English: Reading for Understanding, Analysis and Evaluation student book, which offers guidance in one of the most important areas of National 5 English, in a skill area that some students believe 'cannot be practised'. The student book, written by two highly experienced teachers and authors, shows that such practice offers the best chance of success and demonstrates that reading for understanding, analysis and evaluation for National 5 English is a skill that can be acquired and improved.

This book of suggested answers offers extremely detailed suggested marking instructions to use alongside the student book, that highlight where students can gain - or lose - the extra marks that influence grade awards. This book also contains two new sample practice papers, in addition to those set in the student book, to help give students as much practice as possible for this element of the course.
