Success for lower-attainers at Key Stages 3 and 4
Designed for the lowest-ability Key Stage 3 students, this English series contains fiction, non-fiction, media, drama and poetry pieces arranged in relevant thematic units. It provides structured coverage of grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary development. For each of Years 7, 8 and 9 there is a student book, a pack of eight skills books and a teacher's resource file, of which this one is for Year 7. The units in the student books are divided into stand-alone double-page spreads with a skills section which develops punctuation and spelling. The skills books provide extra practice at the most basic level in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary development, together with activities which can be used for independent classwork or homework. The teacher material includes curriculum and course-coverage charts, photocopiable resource sheets, and help with assessment.

This resource is designed to help the lowest achievers to gain a qualification in English at the end of Key Stage 4. It covers grades F and G and also offers specific material for AEB Basic Communication Skills and other basic skills in English courses. This student book is organized into thematic units so that students work within real contexts. Each unit contains literature and/or non-fiction and practice in the basic skills required for GCSE. The units are divided into double-page spreads which stand alone so that parts of the book can be matched to the individual student's needs. There is an accompanying teacher's resource file. It contains differentiated resource sheets offering more practice at an easier level, and extension work, photocopiable forms and timetables to complete, listening exercises which match the requirements of basic tests, and teacher notes and mapping to GCSE syllabuses and other tests. A write-in workbook provides extra practice in important areas such as spelling, punctuation and key vocabulary. Because the student writes in the workbook, the teacher can retain it as a record of achievement.
The Teacher's Resource File supports the use of the Student Book. It includes:
information on how to use English Matters with GCSE or Certificate of Achievement syllabuses;
resource sheets offering extension work;
listening exercises which match the requirements of basic tests;
photocopiable activities to reinforce spelling and punctuation.
