Toolkits
Deep dives on the ideas that show up everywhere. Each one starts with why the idea exists at all — the problem it was invented to solve, what it actually does, and where it turns up outside a classroom — and then goes through it properly: the full explanation, the table you actually need, worked examples, and the mistakes that cost marks.
Reading
Finding the evidence
Read the question first, go back to the passage, find the clue words, and cross out the answers that are true but not what was asked.

Writing
Building a paragraph
Topic sentence, details, explanation and a closing sentence — the one shape behind a story paragraph, a persuasive paragraph and a research paragraph.

How to use these
- Wondering why any of this is a thing? Read the opening section. It is the part a textbook usually skips.
- Stuck on a question type? Open the toolkit for that idea and find the worked example closest to it.
- Revising? Read the tables and try the checks, then go to practice questions to see whether it stuck.
- Reviewing for a unit test? There is no provincial test in Grade 7, so your teacher sets the tests — the printable worksheets and a mixed quiz are the closest thing here to sitting one.
