Excel Basic Skills - English Workbook Year 6

Excel Basic Skills: English Workbook Year 6 will help you with the writing you do every day at school - in English and in their subjects. Each chapter looks at a different type of writing. Some are imaginative text types such as narratives and poems whereas there are factual text types such as reports and explanations. It is best to work through the book from Chapter 1 to the end, because in this way you will build on skills from one chapter to the next.

The Excel series English Workbooks for Years 3 will help primary school students with the reading and writing they do every day at school in English and in their subjects. Each chapter is set up as a separate unit of work covering a different type of writing and contains exercises that relate to that particular text type.

In this book you will find:

• eleven chapters, each set up 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 Year 6 students, with important features highlighted
• answers to all questions at the back of the book
