Why teachers use these
Why South African teachers use these
The ATP does not slow down for a class of forty-five, a fortnight of load-shedding or the two periods you lost to a sports fixture. Most teachers here are also teaching learners working in an additional language, which means the same content has to be readable at more than one level. A complete unit arrives with the lesson plan, the slide deck, four levels of worksheet and the memorandum already written, so you spend your time on the teaching and the SBA file instead of typing another worksheet at ten at night.

Make it work for everyone
Differentiation and school-based assessment
Home Language and First Additional Language learners can sit in the same lesson when the reading load changes but the content does not. Hand the more supported sheet to learners who need it and the extension task to those who are ready, then keep the marked scripts as informal assessment evidence to sit alongside your formal Programme of Assessment tasks.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Are these CAPS-approved resources?
No. They are not approved, endorsed or screened by the Department of Basic Education, and they do not appear on any national catalogue. They are written to the concepts and skills CAPS covers for the phase, so most units map onto your subject's annual teaching plan. Check the preview against your ATP before you use one.
Can I use these if my learners are taught in English as an additional language?
That is exactly what the four worksheet levels are for. The supported versions cut sentence length and pre-teach key terms while keeping the same content, so a First Additional Language learner is not given easier work, just a clearer route into it. The Word files let you add a glossary in the home language your learners share.
Our printing budget is tight. Do I have to print everything?
No. Every unit comes in a digital version as well, so you can project the slides and the task and have learners write answers in their exercise books. If you do print, choose only the worksheet level a group needs rather than running the whole set for the class.
