Flashcards for SQA National 5 English, following the course specification (version 6.0, September 2025) and the 2025-26 Scottish set text list. Split into reading skills, the Scottish texts (one subdeck per text and per poet, with one subdeck for each poem) and critical essay terms.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
