Achieve: English Essential Reading Skills

Product Description

While very suitable for the regular classroom, each of the Achieve! series of English titles has been written at a literacy level that makes the pages appropriate for secondary school students who, because of poor reading skills, struggle to comprehend regular classroom materials.

The Essential reading skills title contains a range of tasks that provide students with strategies for extracting meaning from texts of different types. Students will practise locating required information in a text, use organisational devices such as contents pages and indexes, explore the use of presentational devices, identify different genres and develop annotation skills.

The CD contains all the pages that are featured in the book, as well as a file of illustrations that can be used for other worksheets. These files can be easily edited to suit the needs of students and the curriculum requirements of your state.
