This literacy toolkit provides clear, structured frameworks to help students improve analysis, evaluation, and comparison skills across subjects. Using models like SPY, JELLY, TWIN, and JUDGE, it teaches students how to organise ideas, use evidence, and explain their thinking effectively. Designed for KS3–KS4, it reduces uncertainty, builds confidence, and improves written responses by making expectations explicit. The resource supports progression from scaffolded support to independent writing, making it ideal for lessons, revision, and intervention. By focusing on how to think and structure answers, it helps students move from basic description to clear, developed, and well-supported writing.
