The aim of this book is to build basic skills in reading, comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation. The format of each unit is the same so that students become familiar with the requirements of each question, which become progressively more difficult as students work through the book. The sequence of units allows for regular practice that will reinforce the basic English skills taught in schools.

In this book your child will find:

Thirty carefully graded double-page units
Informative, imaginative and persuasive text models
Literal and inferring reading comprehension questions
Activities that teach spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
Four double-page revision units
Four double-page NAPLAN-style Tests
Marking grids to identify strengths and areas that require further revision
A lift-out answer section
