This resource contains a series of lesson starters or plenaries designed to help students respond confidently to unprepared speaking read‑aloud questions. The first slide introduces a technique that students can apply to most question types. The teacher then asks the questions provided, and students practise answering them orally using the technique, without writing anything down. Once students understand the technique and can use it confidently, they can repeat the activity in pairs. This can also be used as a revision booklet to give to students now to revise for their speaking exam. All questions are taken from the AQA sample materials for 2026.
