Description
Differentiated worksheets are included where necessary so that children of lower ability have more guidance or less to do in quantity. Extension activities are given to challenge the more able, and follow-up activities enable teachers to extend the work further.
Activities range from looking at descriptions of characters from ‘classic texts’ and analysing the features of good story openings to looking at alliteration in poems and investigating humorous prose
Each section comprises a text which should be reproduced onto a separate sheet for ease of reading, and differentiated worksheets, and most sections have extension activities aimed at the more able readers. Extension activities give ideas to enhance certain aspects more thoroughly, giving teachers extra material for language teaching.
