Built on the belief that language should be explored and enjoyed – not just learned – Wordsmith is a whole-school approach to English with reading for pleasure at its core and grammar skills seamlessly woven throughout.
Perfectly complements each of the separate UK curricula and packed with support for the harder grammar requirements of the 2014 Primary curriculum in England.
A powerful mix of top quality teaching resources, lively and interesting lessons and flexible planning and assessment.
Novels, poems, and non-fiction texts selected for their quality, power and teaching potential, to help children see how some of the best writers use language – and to try it out for themselves.
Grammar is taught as discrete grammar ‘blasts’ introducing and teaching new concepts, and as an integral part of comprehension and composition activities.
Gives you a wide and varied menu of lesson ideas and activities, with a huge library of supporting resources, all available at the click of a button.
Self-checking and peer-marking is embedded throughout, as well as plenty of advice for formative assessment, and individual writing and grammar tasks to help you keep track of individual progress.
