Synopsis

English Skills provides regular graded practice to develop pupils' literacy skills at Key Stage 2. Key areas are constantly revisited, giving pupils the intensive and rigorous practice that is essential to embed learning and prepare for the Key Stage 2 national tests. The English Skills Introductory Book revises topics from the Key Stage 1 curriculum and is suitable for use with children nearing the end of Key Stage 1 or as part of a catch-up programme at the beginning of Key Stage 2. It includes:

• exercises covering grammar, punctuation and sentence formation
• writing tasks to encourage children to apply what they have learnt in their own writing
• proofreading tasks to check understanding
• a Progress chart for pupils to record their own achievements
• a Glossary to support the confident use of literacy terms.

Topics covered include: sentence formation and punctuation; compound nouns; verb tenses; commas in a list; common suffixes; alternative spellings of letter sounds; and common spelling patterns.

The accompanying answer book, English Skills Introductory Book Answers (ISBN 9780721714035), contains answers to all the questions in the English Skills Introductory Book while a separate teacher's guide, English Skills Teacher's Guide (ISBN 9780721714165), contains further guidance and resources to help children practise and develop literacy skills.
