About the founder
ONCE worksheets are developed on an ongoing basis by an experienced teacher and journalist, Barbara Orpen Hathorn.
It was while engaging in English teaching that she realised there was a need for English teaching resources which would help teachers work through the language curriculum, as well as educate students about current issues.
The worksheets
For only R180.00 a term, an English language worksheet with comprehension-style questions based on up-to-date current issues is delivered to inboxes every two weeks during school terms.
These worksheets cover core language elements of the Reading and Viewing section as well as the Language Structures and Conventions of the CAPS for English Home Language FET phase (Grades 10 to 12), and the Senior Phase (Grades 7, 8 and 9). We now offer worksheets with a specific focus on grammar and vocabulary too.
