English Skills Builder 5 Blossoms Educational resources have been tried and tested in classrooms for several years and teachers have seen substantial improvements in students' progress. The books can be used in Key Stage 1, 2 and 3. Literacy, Verbal Reasoning and Comprehension is a key part of the curriculum and is featured in all Independent and 11+ tests across the country. This book offers a whole new approach to the teaching of grammar and English comprehension that is fully matched to the demands of the new English grammar and punctuation tests and the new curriculum. With the shift towards understanding and inference of classical texts, this book aims to meet the needs of students wishing to excel in their English studies at school but also aims to develop skills needed to pass the selective tests in the UK.
