Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is part of a six-level English course (foundation-level to level five) for pupils between five and 12-years-old. The course employs a twin-track structure that enables teachers to underpin students' language development with a rigorous skills programme. There are two pupil's books at each level: a skills book, covering comprehension (with emphasis on literal), grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and spelling; and a development book, covering comprehension (with emphasis on inferential), the craft of quality writing, forms of writing, styles of writing and composition skills. Each level also has a teacher's resource book which supports both tracks, includes photocopiable activity sheets and correlations for all UK curricula, suggests strategies for developing listening and speaking skills, and helps support record-keeping and assessment.
