When Bruce and Sue the cockatoos take their little nephew Lou on a
luxury cruise, he causes chaos on every deck. But he might just
save the day in the end... Another title in the popular phonics
readers series, which makes learning phonics fun.
The English workbook educator guide is a resource written to support the teaching in The English Workbook series.
The workbooks, designed to improve and develop learners’ literacy skills, consist of ten units of work, each focused on one of the following writing formats: procedures, recounts, expositions, narratives and reports.
Each unit includes:
- Learner analysis of writing form, speaking and listening, group and individual activities, literal, inferential and applied comprehension questions, vocabulary development and extension, spelling strategies and rules practice
- Specific language features of the particular text, such as proper nouns, imperative verbs and punctuation, clearly and concisely explained with practice exercises
- Writing activities focussed on specific writing skills related to the particular genre. Writing topics are set with planning proformas and editing and proofreading checklists. Learner evaluation is included.
These practice papers are designed to be used as learning
reinforcement and are essential for exam preparation. Each paper
simulates the format and content of the 11+ exam and may be
completed as a standard or multiple-choice test. Each test should
take about 50 minutes, however it is more important that a child
completes the test accurately and does not rush. Children will
speed up naturally with practice.
