Links to Articles from Twitter

[mrsanderson]

Here you go! Like I said, you need to up the ante on reading, and especially reading non-fiction now. These articles are good. If you don't find them interesting, then find some of your own! What I said yesterday stands - you must read what you know are quality newspapers. There is no point in reading, say, The Sun because it has a reading age of 7 and will do nothing for your vocabulary, general knowledge or Higher level skills. These ones will. Check out the 'Comment is Free' section in the Guardian, or anything that is an opinion piece from The Independent, or the Times. Sport etc are okay, too, if you like. You can also google David Mitchell's articles, which are often quite entertaining. Charlie Brooker does a lot of TV stuff - you can google him, too!

Here are the last few I posted on to our twitter page. They're fairly up-to-date in their subject matter:
