These catch-up resources give students a firm foundation in reading and writing knowledge and skills so that they are ready to access the 11-14 National Curriculum for English. With a focus on the essential skills and knowledge of reading and writing, the self-contained units are divided into two sections: Reading includes making inferences and referring to evidence, using knowledge of figurative language, text structure, presentation, and learning new vocabulary through reading. Writing includes using grammar, vocabulary, and spelling accurately, summarising and organizing ideas, and writing for a wide range of audiences and purposes.
