Excel Basic Skills: English Workbook Year 5

When you use Excel Basic Skills: English Workbook, you will be practising recognising and writing many of the text types you learn at school. The Excel series of English Workbooks for Years 3-6 will help primary school students with the reading and writing they do every day at school - in English and in other subjects. Each chapter is set out as a separate unit of work covering a different type of writing (text type) and contains exercises that relate to that particular text type.

In this book you will find:

• eleven chapters, each set out as a unit of work covering a particular text type (such as narratives, letters, speeches and information reports), including a chapter on writing for school projects
• exercises and activities in each chapter which are directly linked to the text type covered
• practice in skills such as spelling, grammar, vocabulary, punctuation and comprehension
• interesting and relevant sample texts, including many written by students, with important features highlighted
• answers to all questions at the back of the book
