Description

Target Literacy offers a structured programme of units designed to support and develop the skills of students who currently fail to rise above Level 3 at KS3. The key focus is on language skills - particularly those highlighted in the recent National Literacy Strategy Objectives for KS3. Each unit is built around a core text, drawn from a range of fiction and non-fiction sources; accompanying activities (a) encourage discussion on the text's content and themes; (b) develop students' understanding of the language features of the texts, through plenty of accessible activities; (c) allow students to practise what they have learned through extended writing activities, supported by hints and tips, and writing frames. The accompanying teachers' book offers photocopiable versions of the writing frames, plus further reinforcement activities.
