Written specifically for the new 2016 Study Design, Reading and Creating | Reading and Comparing comprehensively covers Area of Study 1 of the new Study Design in a write-in textbook format, using student-friendly language. Ideally used at Year 11 and carried into Year 12, Reading and Creating | Reading and Comparing will prepare students for VCE English success.

Using a broad selection of text extracts (including text pairings in the ‘Comparing’ section), the book covers topics including: textual features, understanding texts, analytical writing, creative writing, reading for comparison, making connections and contrasts, and comparative writing. Additionally a helpful toolkit provides templates, annotated sample responses, practice SAC and examination tasks, and a glossary.

Written by a team of four exceptional English educators – Kellie Heintz, Michael Horne, Timothy Nolan and Rachel Williams – several of whom have been involved in shaping the Study Design, Reading and Creating | Reading and Comparing will ensure easy implementation of the new course.

The text is supplemented digitally with obook and assess, including further support for EAL students.
