This is a good English practise and learn book. Although it is aimed at those pupils aged 6-7 and in Key Stage 1 because it isn't babyish in content I'd be happy to use this activity with my secondary students who have a reading age/English ability of this level. Equally, you could use this with ESOL students.

There are 18 different worksheets that can be completed covering:

* phonics
* the sounds "air" and "ear"
* plurals (not "y")
* writing sentences with correct demarcation and also subject/verb/object
* prefixes and suffixes
* tongue twisters with a focus on alliteration
* riddles (may be complex for ESOL students)
* compound words (such as black+berry)
* adjectives
* question words and question marks
* punctuation which is ? ' . !
* synonyms and antonyms but phrased as the same and opposite
* joining sentences with both conjunctions and connectives
* poems (mainly looking at rhyme but with a little comprehension)
* non-fiction and also finding facts (which is comprehension based around knowing what non-fiction means) then also the same for fiction
* proofing your work
* finally, there's a little board game on the back cover.

In the middle of the workbook are answer pages set out so that children/pupils can complete them alone if that's what you want to do or equally work with an adult to check their work. Nicely presented with colourful (but not bright/vivid) page backgrounds. I think this is well worth the money and would be great to have as a set in a classroom. I'd recommended it! ( )
