For Teachers

Each workbook covers the following English curriculum strands : Word Classes, Written Language, Punctuation, Dictionary Skills, Spelling, Grammar, Comprehension, Reading  Skills and Research. 

Most of the pages contain instruction boxes and worked examples to help students with independent study - e.g. homework or group work in class.

Sample pages are available on book pages.
