Minibeasts: Pupils' Book 4 Level 4

This Pupil's Book is part of a package designed for the teaching of English at Key Stage 2. Taking as topics the weather, food, minibeasts and transport, Key Stage 2 includes three Pupil's Books per topic (National Curriculum Levels Three, Four and Five), one Teacher's Book per topic and one set of Copymasters per topic. Part of a series intended to help children put English into context, these courses aim to provide flexible, topic-linked literature and language work. Topics have been chosen for their strong links with other National Curriculum subjects, particularly science, and each book is closely linked to National Curriculum levels, helping teachers monitor children's progress through the various Levels of Attainment. Each topic covers the required National Curriculum Attainment Targets for English at each level. Activities in Attainment Targets One to Three, "Speaking and Listening", "Reading and Writing", as well as work on knowledge about language, are dealt with thoroughly. Links are made to Attainment Targets 4-5 "Spelling and Handwriting" where possible.
Each Pupil's Book contains a variety of fiction, non-fiction and "real life" texts, including poetry, plays, fables and folk tales from many cultures. Intended to stimulate writing and discussion, material is incorporated which should develop the complete range of literacy skills at each level. This Pupil's Book is devoted to minibeasts.
