English Pupil's Books, Workbooks and Teachers' Guides
Every English book and guide the government publishes free, with a direct link to each one.

The Word file can be edited in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, WPS Office or LibreOffice, so you can add your school's name and change it for your class. The PDF is ready to print.
These are links to the official sites
These are the government's own books and guides, published by the Educational Publications Department and the National Institute of Education. Nothing on this page is an RCF publication, and nothing here is sold.
Everything below is served from the RCF English Drive, because the government download sites fail too often to be worth sending you to. Download saves the PDF straight to your device; read online opens it in Google Drive without downloading.
Every link here was checked and opened a PDF. If one ever fails, tell us and we will replace it.
Pupil's Books, Workbooks and other books
Published by the Educational Publications Department. Every link here is a whole book: where the department only publishes a book one unit at a time, we leave it out rather than send you to fourteen separate files. Grades 1 and 2 follow Activity Based Oral English (ABOE), so they have an Activity Book and a Song Book instead of a Pupil's Book.

What is not on the official sites
So that you do not spend an evening looking for them.
| What you may be looking for | What we found |
|---|---|
| Grade 4 Teachers' Guide | The NIE guide list has no English guide for Grade 4. Grades 3 and 5 are there. |
| Grade 7 and Grade 10 Pupil's Books | The department publishes these two only one unit at a time, never as a whole book. The complete books above are copies held in the RCF English Drive. |
| A/L General English textbook | There is no free copy of this book to download. The Teachers' Guide for it is above. |
| New 2026 Grade 6 book | The Grade 6 book here is the earlier edition, with the units Hello, Leisure Lesson ... Eco Friends. We do not have a copy of the new 2026 book. |
| Literature texts (O/L and A/L) | Prescribed novels, plays and poems are copyright works and are not published free. Grade 10 Appreciation of English Literary Texts is the one exception, and it is listed above. |
