- This beautifully illustrated storybook and workbook set has been created to support learners who, after acquiring the basics of reading and writing, have struggled to organically grasp the rules that govern spelling in the English language. The colourful storybook tells the story of the ‘Super Spelling School for Letters’, and the teacher who helps all the students come together to make words. Twenty-two of the most important spelling rules are explored and given meaning through the engaging story, each followed by a ‘quick quiz’ to help solidify the rule in the long-term memory. In the fully photocopiable workbook, activity pages for each rule develop reading, spelling and writing skills, allowing the child to put the rules into practice.
- This book of photocopy masters by Gill Nettle has been written in reponse to teachers' requests for more materials at the same level as the original Reading for Meaning books 1 - 4. As before, they are intended to meet the need for work at a basic level that will encourage pupils to seek meaning in text, to classify, sequence and extend their language development generally. They are intended to be the focus for pair or group work, with every task providing good opportunities for focussed speaking and listening activities alongside the development of reading skills.
