Endorsed by the Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB), this book offers a coherent scheme with progressive development of skills throughout. Each chapter introduces and covers a skill, providing approximately three weeks of teaching material. Scaffolded activities give pupils the opportunity to practise new skills, and challenging comprehension activities across SPAG, writing, speaking and listening are included with mark allocations. 'Joining the dots' segments help to group and apply skills previously learned, with an emphasis on spelling, grammar and writing skills to develop written accuracy.
