What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Syllabus: CfE (Curriculum for Excellence, from Education Scotland) and SQA
Level: BGE S1-3: Third & Fourth Levels
Subject: English

Capture pupils' imagination and attention with a rich collection of quality texts, handpicked by Jane Cooper to ensure that pupils want to start reading - and keep reading.


Tailored to the interests, motivations and abilities of pupils working towards Second and Third Levels in S1 to S3, this book will help you to close the attainment gap.

Part One teaches the close reading skills that pupils need throughout their lives, with simple explanations, lots of examples and tasks set at three levels - 'Building', 'Strengthening' and 'Extending'.

Part Two contains ten practice assessments that gradually increase in difficulty, with longer passages, more complex language and more challenging questions.

Drawing on her long career as an English teacher and author, Jane Cooper has a talent for knowing which topics pupils will find curious or fun - from the world's cheesiest pizza to a mysterious metal column that appeared in a desert.

With Course Reports showing that N5 and Higher students most commonly lose marks in the RUAE papers, this book offers a proactive solution to building confidence and skills during BGE.

Providing differentiated, age-appropriate content and tasks, this is the perfect resource for mixed-ability classrooms - especially when used alongside its companion volume, Levels 3-4 English: Reading for Understanding, Analysis and Evaluation Skills.
