General English

Key Stage 2

This comprehensive series covers all aspects of English to introduce children to the 11+ admissions preparation as well as to improve their language skills in general. The first part of each booklet comprises a text from a classic children’s novel with accompanying questions to test vocabulary and comprehension knowledge. The comprehension section is divided into two parts: the first is a multiple choice format and the second part involving longer answers and therefore a more in depth analysis of the text. The rest of the material includes grammar, spelling and punctuation exercises. To finish, there is a feature of story writing that is explained with a short exercise – ideal for encouraging students to try out new ideas in their own writing. A homework writing task is then explained at the end of each set of materials. Every type of writing style (both creative story and essay writing) is covered. Armed with the knowledge gained from this series, students will be more confident about language in general and should be more confident about their own writing.

Essay Writing

This series allows students to become familiar with a range of writing genres and build confidence around producing good quality pieces of writing whatever is thrown at them!

EssayWriting

This series starts with a look at the basic rhetorical devices that can improve writing such as similes, metaphors and personification. At every stage, the student has ample opportunity of practising writing using these language techniques. Texts are introduced with a historical or literary significance, which allow the students to think about both important social issues as well as literary devices that enhance a writer’s meaning.

Literacy

Key Stage 2

This series covers all aspects of the language that a student will need to improve their grammar and expand their lexicon. The first four pages explore grammar, punctuation, spelling and story writing exercises with clear explanations at the top of each page. The story writing page deals with a language device that authors use to embellish their writing – so this part will certainly give students the confidence to try out new techniques in their own writing. The rest of the booklets includes various exercises to promote knowledge of vocabulary and different word types.
