About the The Sign of the Four Workbook (Ages 14-16)
The Sign of the Four Workbook (Ages 14-16) gives your Year 10 or Year 11 student exactly what they need to crack Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes novel for AQA GCSE English Literature. This CGP workbook transforms a complex set text into manageable, focused practice that builds the plot knowledge, character analysis, and exam technique essential for Grade 9–1 success. Every question sharpens understanding of context, themes, and the writer's methods, so your child walks into the exam ready to demonstrate the four key skills markers are looking for.
Inside, your student will find exercises that guide them step by step—from close reading and quotation selection to crafting clear, well-structured responses under exam conditions. Skills Focus pages target the most important abilities individually, while exam-style questions let them apply what they've learnt in realistic scenarios. A handy cartoon plot summary captures the entire story at a glance, perfect for quick revision or untangling tricky sequences. Full answers at the back mean your child can check their work, spot gaps, and improve independently, turning revision time into real progress without constant supervision.

Because it's a real book—not a screen—your child can annotate, highlight, and return to tricky sections without the distractions of the internet.
