Girls Just Wanna Have Fun... and good books to read!

Due to be published September 2013

Reading age 7-8, Interest Age 8-12

If you're looking for a series of books to add a little sparkle for your pupils, we have just the thing. Badger Learning is pleased to announce a new series of titles aimed at girl readers called Gems.

With a high interest age and lower reading age, these 10 titles feature cool heroines, crazy creatures, and even aliens! From princesses to football, these are by no means 'traditional' books for girl readers. In this strong and varied collection, your pupils will enjoy the characters, covers and illustrations of Gems. At 32 pages, these books are the perfect length to have all kinds of adventures.

We will be uploading our list of titles very soon, along with much more information about Gems! Over the next few weeks, you can look forward to cover illustrations, chapter previews and author interviews. Keep shining until then!

Whether preparing for GCSEs or A-Levels, developing a good revision technique is essential.

However, it goes without saying that what works for one person, may not work for somebody else.

Trying out different techniques and using them for a range of subjects will allow you to get a good feel for what works best for you.

With this in mind, we’ve put together a selection of tips to help you get the most out of your revision time, plus a range of resources designed to support your learning.

We’ve found that most students rarely just stick to the one technique, equally so when it comes to resources; most students we’ve spoken to use a whole host of them; textbooks, papers, apps. It really is down to personal preference, your learning styles and the subject you’re studying for.
