The English Skills Box 3 : Tuning in to Texts with SATs Focused Questions Mixed media product
by Prim-Ed Publishing, RIC Publications
Part of the The English Skills Box series
Mixed media product
Description
75 graded reading texts per box, to align with the national curriculum and SATs requirements of KS1, LKS2 and UKS2, and with skill-focused activities to inspire confidence in learners.
The English Skills Boxes 1-3 provide opportunities for pupils to read an exciting range of graded texts to support, match or challenge their needs and to creatively apply their skills and knowledge of English comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar and punctuation. 15 colour sets of five cards within each box provide a range of illustrated fiction (modern and classic), non-fiction, rhyme and poetry texts for children to read and enjoy.
The texts are aligned to book bands: Box 1 Green to White; Box 2 White to Grey; and Box 3 Grey to Dark Red and beyond.
The use of a qualitative and quantitative readability measure ensures greater reliability in text measurement and progression. Follow-up, skills-focused activities link to the statutory English national curriculum requirements and the content domains for reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar, as featured in national tests (SATs).
The number of activities gradually increase over the three boxes.
The careful grading and steady skills progression mean the cards may be used in whole-class teaching, small guided reading groups or independently by the pupils.
They may be used in sequence or selected by the teacher to match identified needs.
The cards have been written to increase in difficulty as children progress through the box.
Cards within a colour set may be tackled in any order. After every three card sets, pupils may take a progress test to review knowledge and skills met along the way.
Each test covers reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar and punctuation and has a maximum score of 20 marks.
Tests are written in the style of national tests and are free to download from www. prim-ed.co.uk. Answers are available in the Teacher Guide. The English Skills Boxes each contain:* 75 cards in 15 colour sets of five cards;* 75 child-friendly answer cards;* a Teacher Guide with card by card notes and answers; and * free, downloadable progress tracking resources from www.prim-ed.co.uk including:o five progress tests;o tracking sheets for teachers;o tracking sheets for pupils; ando pupil answer recording sheet.
