This book is packed with enjoyable activities designed to develop skills in reading, understanding and interpreting different styles of writing. Guided by a group of friendly animals, children will gain confidence as they work their way through the activities, which include writing lists, diaries, poems and stories, and analysing a piece of writing. All activities reinforce English teaching in schools, and reflect the National Curriculum. There is a practice page and ‘secret’ notes for grown-ups in a gatefold at the back of the book. Comes with a special wipe-clean pen which is very satisfying to write with, and easy to wipe. Part of the hugely successful Usborne Wipe-clean series, the Key Skills titles teach children the basics of a variety of Maths, English and Science topics. | Key Skills Wipe-clean: Comprehension 7-8 by Caroline Young, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
