for every topic taught at school! When it comes to getting the best
results, practice really does make perfect! Matched to the National
Curriculum, this Collins Year 4 Reading Comprehension workbook is
designed to improve comprehension skills. This book contains
relevant, diverse and engaging texts including fiction, non-fiction
and poetry and covering a range of styles and eras from well-known
classics to modern authors. Using a repeated practice method that
is proven to work, this book improves performance in school, as
well as in tests and assessments. Questions are organised into
levels of increasing difficulty while progress tests throughout
check children's understanding along the way. Children can record
their own results too, supporting awareness and boosting
confidence. A handy answer section is also included to ensure every
child can succeed in Year 4. We've got a Year 4 Maths Targeted
Practice Workbook (9780008201708) available as well.
The friendly animals in this workbook help children understand and
practise the rules of English grammar and punctuation. With
charming illustrations by talented Polish artist, Magda Brol,
children (and their grown-ups!) are gently guided through topics
such as noun phrases, fronted adverbials, plurals, possessives and
paragraphs.

flexible, but structured resource for developing writing skills,
which both you and your pupils will enjoy. The activities address
many of upper Key Stage 2 Programmes of Study for writing
composition in the 2014 national curriculum for England. Different

persuasive writing are covered. The sheets are self-explanatory and
ready to use; the only additional resources needed are a pen or
pencil and, sometimes, extra paper. Word processing on a computer
would be a bonus. The teacher tip boxes provide useful hints and
suggestions for making the most of the activities.

The skills and requirements for the GCSE English language exam are
very specific: retrieving information from texts, inference,
analysis of language, presentational techniques and comparing texts
are some of the skills needed. For writing, students are required
to engage the reader and produce a response, which relates to the
purpose and audience. It emphasises the P.E.E or P.E.T.E.R
technique, so students have a blue print (format) to work from;
make POINT, give EVIDENCE, comment on TECHNIQUE, EFFECT and
RESPONSE. This helps students to develop analytical skills for
non-fiction tasks and responses in English literature papers. The
students are also taught to use rhetorical techniques - groups of
three, speaking directly to the reader, rhetorical questions,
inclusive pronouns as well as stylistic devices like similes,
metaphors and high level vocabulary.

Part of the Bug Club reading series used in over 3500 schools Helps
your child develop reading fluency and confidence Suitable for
children age 9-10 (Year 5)
The Creative Writing series provides a complete and comprehensive
course in creative writing. It prepares children for 11+, 12+ and
13+ state grammar entrance, Common Entrance and scholarship
examinations for independent schools. This series of books is
designed to be used in sequence from Workbook 1 onwards. A child
should work through the exercises in each section and then apply
the principles and techniques they have learnt in a draft of their
own story. By the end of the course, children will have produced
two drafts for each of their six original stories. A Score Chart
and Certificate of Achievement are included at the end of the book.
All our materials have been rigorously classroom tested. The
methodologies have been successfully used in AE Tuition classes for
over 20 years.
Dockside, the award-winning reading intervention programme, is
specifically designed for older children who are struggling with
their reading, or for children learning English as an additional
language. It provides an opportunity for children to practise their
reading skills at a suitable level with age-appropriate storylines.
A handy breakdown of key words is included as well as question
prompts to encourage discussion. The series is set in an everyday
world featuring a range of strong characters and stories to which
children can relate, and enjoy, providing a unique approach to
reading intervention.
In this book, Dr. Timothy Horan presents an original and highly
effective writing program whose major goal is to transform high
school students into accomplished writers and mature young adults.
This writing program is innovative, rigorous, and engaging, and was
designed with high school students in mind. This volume contains a
total of twenty original writing projects that represent creative
(and innovative) interpretations of Common Core Writing Standards.
These projects focus on the worlds of contemporary secondary
students, exploring such topics as technology, literature, goals
for the future, and potential careers. Each assignment in this book
is full and complete, and includes a reproducible outline that
presents the assignment to students in a simplified graphical
format. As students progress through this program, they will
encounter engaging writing projects that foster growth and
anticipate the changes occurring in students' lives during this
time of development and transition. It will also prepare students
for the rigors of writing in college, career, and the unwritten
future that awaits all of them. Finally, Dr. Horan issues a call
for every secondary school in the United States to create and
implement courses singularly devoted to the craft of writing-and
this book contains the curriculum for that course.
