Excel Basic Skills Core Books: English Year 2

The aim of this book is to build basic skills in reading, comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation. The format of each unit is the same so that students become familiar with the requirements of each question, which become progressively more difficult as students work through the book. The sequence of units allows for regular practice that will reinforce the basic English skills taught in schools.

In this book your child will find:

• Thirty carefully graded double-page units
• Informative, imaginative and persuasive text models
• Literal and inferring reading comprehension questions
• Activities that teach phonics, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
• Four double-page revision units
• Four double-page NAPLAN-style Tests
• Marking grids to identify strengths and areas that require further revision
• A lift-out answer section
