Anyone knows if Year 1 Literature books used are the same each year?

Other than reading the Lit book, anything else to better prepare for taking the subject? Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

For the past few years, the Year 1 text has been Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

I would say that just reading the book would be a great place to start to establish a solid foundation for next year. Beyond that, just exposing him to different kinds of writing would be helpful as well, to get him to think about the techniques writers use to get meaning across, for both the set text (Things Fall Apart) and general unseen (random poetry and prose extracts). At this stage, he can also browse resources to get an idea of how to express his ideas analytically and fluently -- a skill very useful for other essay-writing subjects like English and History as well.

Many students often struggle with Literature when they come to secondary school, but I think it becomes significantly more manageable if you get a good grounding in the skills and the requirements of the subject. As someone who has been through the school's Literature curriculum, doing well really comes with learning to enjoy and love the subject

Hope this helped! If you have any other questions or are thinking of getting him some guidance, you can pm me
