New Wave English in Practice Teachers Guide: Lower (Revised Edition)

Description

Finding time to practise and reinforce essential spelling, grammar, word study and punctuation skills can be challenging in today’s busy classrooms. The New Wave English in Practice series has been designed with this in mind, providing pupils with an easy-to-use workbook that reinforces skills they have learnt as part of the teacher’s regular literacy program. Through only 10–15 minutes of daily practise, pupils will develop their understanding of, and confidence with, using these concepts in a range of literacy contexts.

The New Wave English in Practice workbooks are filled with a range of interesting questions and engaging illustrations that give pupils an opportunity to practise taught, year-level appropriate spelling, grammar, word study and punctuation skills. Each workbook includes 28 skill focus mini-lessons and targeted questions, which highlight some of the more challenging English skills that are included. A friendly witch character is featured throughout the New Wave English in Practice series to introduce these new skills, demonstrate concepts and provide important reminders.

Workbooks are available for First class to Sixth class, with a comprehensive teachers guide available for lower (A and B), middle (C and D) and upper (E and F) workbooks.
