5. Text books
Cambridge National Level 1 / 2 Child Development by Miranda Walker
Hodder Education
ISBN

6. Using the text book to aid revision
Each chapter covers the topics needed for the exam
At the end of each chapter there are ‘test your knowledge’ questions and activities for the students to use
Each section has a key term box which should be used and learnt as this can help the student understand the questions in the exam.
A good way to learn the key terms are to use post-it notes and stick them around the home/ car/ bedroom etc. Regular testing by another person helps the student to assess their understanding of these terms!

7. reading and rewriting notes
Some students like to read the textbook and write revision notes
This can be useful as long as they test their knowledge- this can be completed by someone asking them questions about their notes or using the revision questions

8. Printing off previous exam papers
being-for-child-development-sample-assessment-material.pdf
This is a good technique to use as it familiarises the student with the layout of the questions. It also helps them to organise the timing of the paper.

9. How to use exam papers
Read the question- is there a key term that you need to refer to the textbook for clarification?
How many points is the question worth-this can help the student decided how many pointers will be required
What is the terminology used in the question? Explain, describe, list???
Mind map on a separate piece of paper for ideas that could be used in the question before attempting it?
Check the textbook to see if the answer is correct or could be improved
Students could work on their own or ask a peer to swop ideas

10. Topic revision sessions
At school we use a variety of short question sheets that students can take home to work on.
These are more focussed on each topic and can support students who need more information in one area
