Reviews of the first edition "This book is a treasure trove of descriptive language... Highly recommended for both teachers and parents. I wish I’d had a copy of this book when I was a full time English teacher!

This book provides a resource for younger pupils that expand their descriptive vocabulary and provide them with models that demonstrate 'language in action', in a genre that is familiar to children ages 5-9.

Written in a friendly and accessible manner, this book has been updated in line with the new curriculum and provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of teaching within the primary school.

Key Stage 2 Comprehension provides a unique collection of stimulating texts that appeal strongly to both boys and girls, together with questions that both build and stretch comprehension skills and widen vocabulary.

This essential guide will enable children to take their writing to the next level, combine their descriptions of setting and character and show how the two interact.

Vocabulary has become increasingly more important for all types of 11 plus exams.In this book Rose McGowan sets out 100 exercises, to be completed one per day, to enhance your child's vocabulary.
