The statement that there are no quick fixes in teaching is not entirely accurate. In the post-lockdown era, we urgently require swift solutions to help our English students regain their academic progress. This book aims to demonstrate how set texts can be streamlined in a way that enhances their richness. It will unveil how seemingly complex literary theory can effectively assist learners of various abilities in achieving rapid progress. Furthermore, it will provide valuable guidance on preparing and revising for dreaded unseen texts, utilizing the limited time we have with students in the most efficient manner.

Emma Stott, with her experience as a teacher of early entry students and as a Research Lead, has compiled eight strategies that empower students to become better readers and critics of literature in general, rather than solely focusing on the same (apparent!) threadbare set texts. Speedy Reading promises to ignite your enthusiasm for those familiar texts, the joys of unseen reading, and even the challenges that lie ahead.
