For Teachers

The ACTION ENGLISH series provides a sequential set of write-on workbooks for students in Years 9 and 10, so lower titles in the series are available for remedial students. Each workbook covers the following English curriculum strands : Word Classes, Written Language, Punctuation, Dictionary Skills, Spelling, Grammar, Comprehension, Reading Skills and Research. Almost all pages contain instruction boxes and worked examples to help students with independent study (e.g. homework, group work in class).

ACTION ENGLISH workbooks are excellent resources for teaching material at the correct curriculum level to develop the written skills students will require for NCEA success. This best-selling series will lay the foundations for improved school-wide English results. Sample pages are available on book pages.

For Parents

Every ACTION ENGLISH write-on workbook features simple instruction boxes with easy examples of the skills taught on each page. Using these instructions as reminders of the rules and methods of written language, parents can now become effective home-teachers. Instead of lots of loose Year 9 worksheets all over the house, a single ACTION ENGLISH workbook will allow you to do something really positive to assist your child’s learning. For very little outlay you can cover English study for the whole year.

Make sure your child is doing the foundation work to prepare them for NCEA exam success later on. The activities are interesting, absorbing and fun to do! See our catalogue below. See individual book details page for sample pages and content.

Sample pages are a great place to start - get your child to view them and if they find them too easy, go to the next book in the sequence.
