Synopsis

Close Reading 9-12 provides a wide selection of extracts with accompanying interpretation/comprehension-type questions, and is appropriate for pupils working at Level D and the upper reaches of Level C. In addition, the 'Taking A Closer Look' section in each chapter focuses on a specific language feature from the passage and provides further explanations and practice exercises on that aspect of language, whilst a 'Follow On' section gives the opportunity to explore wider issues raised by the extract, plus ideas for extended writing.







The book can be used alongside Knowledge About Language (by the same authors) but can also be used independently of that title, either as a stand-alone classroom textbook or a resource for individual pupils needing interpretation practice.
