[Mrs Moroney @MrsMoroneyEng]

My one takeaway for S3 pupils prepping for N5/N4 next year, is to get comfortable reading articles from broadsheet newspapers + summarising what you’ve read in your own words. Some articles cost money, but many are free. Builds confidence in reading, expands vocab + lots more!
