The Targeting English program overview Targeting English has a full-colour Student Book and Teaching Guide with DVD at each level:

Student Books Teaching Guides

• Lower Primary

• Middle Primary Book 1

• Middle Primary Book 2

• Upper Primary Book 1

• Upper Primary Book 2

How do I fully integrate the many aspects of the English syllabus into a comprehensive study of English and how it works? Today, more than ever before, students need to be able to read, write and understand a wide variety of texts. To do this students have to:

• develop a range of comprehension strategies• improve their knowledge of grammar and punctuation• practise their speaking and listening skills • read and write a wide range of fiction and nonfiction

text types.

We developed Targeting English to meet this challenge. The 12 integrated units in each Targeting English Student Book provide a clear model for teaching and learning that builds strong skills in:

1 ReadingRead and explore a variety of texts on a topic using full-colour, real life extracts.

2 ComprehensionUse a variety of comprehension strategies to deepen student understanding of texts.

3 Speaking and ListeningReinforce clear speaking and attentive listening skills with integrated partner activities. The DVD in the Teaching Guide has media files for whole-class activities.

4 Visual Literacy Actively build visual literacy skills by focusing on pictures, diagrams and student drawings.

5 Text typesUnderstand that people read and write texts for different purposes and for different audiences.

6 WritingImprove writing skills with models, scaffolds and regular practice.

7 GrammarBuild grammar and usage skills in context, with activities

integrated into each unit.

8 AssessmentMakes test preparation an integrated part of the teaching process. Each book has six NAPLAN*-style multiple-choice tests.

The Teaching Guide has a range of other assessment activities provided as photocopy-masters.

* This is not an officially endorsed publication of the NAPLAN program and is produced by Pascal Press independently of Australian governments.
