KNOWLEDGE
Spelling and vocabulary resources
As well as our brief guide to common misspellings, we’ve got some lists of useful vocabulary for the kinds of tasks you’ll need to do at both KS3 and, in particular, GCSE. There are also a series of Word Sets, which each contain a small set of ambitious words for you to learn, with definitions and quizzes. Finally, there are lists of vocabulary directly linked to the texts on our curriculum.
