Deliver an inspirational curriculum and support all your students' progressionReviews"I really like the new step-by-step History Skills - it builds up the skills pupils need to apply in order to effectively analyse sources; clear pupil-friendly language allows pupils to gain confidence when looking at sources. The assessment approach is excellent too. I particularly like the way the scaffolding allows confidence to be built in preparation for the 'big write'."
"This is a really good, informative and engaging History book, focusing on the last century (1901-2000). The information is presented in a magazine-style format, so it has lots of pictures and the illustrations, different texts, charts and diagrams, text boxes, etc are used to really good effect. I will definitely be looking for other books in this series - highly recommended." * 5* Amazon review *

Each section ends with a list of questions that allow the student to test their knowledge. This book is perfect for any student who is intimidated by a wall of text." * 5* Amazon review *
