Publisher's Synopsis
English for Lower Attainers is designed to meet the needs of those children in the Junior years, whose reading and writing skills are below the average for their year. These children may not achieve their full potential in the whole-class shared section of the literacy lesson because of the complexity of the shared texts involved. English for Lower Attainers aims to provide: texts related to the range section for the appropriate year of the National Literacy Strategy Framework; texts with a reading ability level two years below chronological age; tasks which support reading and provide a bridge into writing; practice in essential word and sentence skills, in the context of a complete text; clear and supportive notes for teachers or assistants.
