Excel Basic Skills Workbooks aim to build and reinforce basic skills in reading, comprehension and maths. The series supports schoolwork by maintaining skills, thereby allowing students to learn new concepts without always needing to revise past work. The series has seven English and Mathematics core books, one each for Years 1 to 7. These are supported by teaching books which can be used if the student needs help in a particular area of study. The structure of this book This book has thirty carefully graded double-page units. Each unit has work on Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability in Maths, and Reading and Comprehension, Spelling and Vocabulary, and Grammar and Punctuation in English. There are four term reviews. These test work covered during the term. How to use this book Students should do one unit per week. The series can be used to provide homework in conjunction with school terms. The results are then recorded on the term marking grid. All units are written so that each question is on the same topic each week. For example, question 1 is always on addition and question 6 is always on fractions, and so on. Similarly in the English units, question 1 is always on reading comprehension, question 11 is always on punctuation, and so on. This makes the marking grid (see the example on page 4) an easy-to-use diagnostic tool to see where each student’s strengths and weaknesses are. If you find that certain questions are repeatedly causing difficulties and errors, then there is a specific Excel Basic Skills Workbook to help the student fully revise that topic. Excel Basic Skills These are the teaching books of the series. If students find they continually have difficulty in a certain area, then there is an Excel Basic Skills Workbook that will take the student through the topic step by step. The use of illustrations and diagrams, practice questions, and a straightforward and simple approach will make some of the most common problem areas of Maths and English easy to understand and mas
