SQA updates English reading list for Higher and Nat 5 to reflect life in Scotland

The list still includes classic works but will also give the choice of new, contemporary titles.

The reading list for pupils studying English at Higher and Nat 5 level will look slightly different from next year.

For the first time in eight years, the SQA has updated the Scottish set texts to include a range of books, plays and poems which it believes more fully reflect life in Scotland.
