Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Print the answer key separately and keep it with you for quick checking.
  2. Staple or hole-punch the pages into a booklet – children love finishing a “real” book.
  3. Use a fresh printed copy as a short timed test before an exam to practise working under pressure.
