Market Beating York Notes to Launch New Series for A-Level Students
10 Jul 12
This August will see the launch of a brand new range of York Notes for AS & A2 students. Now specifically designed for AS & A2, York Notes will release eight new guides covering the key texts studied by AS & A2 students for English Literature A-Level Exams. Now in full-colour throughout, with photographs, illustrations and colour-coded sections, these new guides will enable students to effectively navigate the study resources and retain and recall the vital information they require.
The way that students study and revise has changed – there’s a much greater emphasis on exam preparation and success and these exciting new guides have been specially tailored to address this. With eye-catching jackets and student-friendly A4 format, which allows for more space to communicate key learning and accommodate new features, this larger size enhances the overall usability of the guides. Each guide is packed with features that facilitate understanding of the text, illustrate key concepts and characters, widen students engagement and maximise their chances to achieve the best results possible in assessments and exams. Features include:
- Grade boosters
- Margin boxes to highlight key learning
- Summary boxes
- Revision tasks
- ‘Check the book’ prompts to encourage engagement with the text
- Glossaries of key terms
- Key quotes, critical viewpoints and contextual analysis
- Sample questions and sample answers for practice
In the face of a challenging book market, the English Literature Study Guides market has grown year on year. Sales in 2011 showed an increase of 20% and 300,000 guides were purchased worth over £1.5m. Publishing for over 30 years York Notes is, and has been for decades, the market leading students’ choice in this category.
