Read it with a teacher. Then answer on your own.
A teacher reads with your child, models the thinking and shows how to find the answer in the text. Then the exercise checks understanding one question at a time, with a teacher to ask when a question will not make sense.
- Comprehension, grammar, spelling and vocabulary in every unit
- Pronunciation for every word in the reading exercises
- Ask a qualified teacher about any grammar question, six days a week
“Tom pushed his plate away and looked at the clock again. His bag was already by the door.”
The writer never says it: Tom wants to leave.
Six skills grow together, not one at a time.
Grammar on its own does not make a reader. Each unit blends the skills the way real reading and writing do.
Reading comprehension
Literal and inferential questions on real passages: recounts, procedures, poems, explanations.
Phonics and spelling
Sounds, patterns, prefixes and suffixes, and the words that break the rules.
Grammar
Parts of speech, tense, determiners, pronouns, sentence construction and common errors.
Vocabulary
Word meaning in context, with pronunciation for every word in the reading exercises.
Punctuation
From full stops to semicolons, taught where they matter: in writing.
Writing skills
Figurative language, structure, word usage and essay planning for older learners.
Schools use these same lessons for intensive English.
Schools use the Discovering English programme to teach students of mixed ability in one class, from upper elementary to intermediate. Each unit is built around one grammar point, with listening, speaking and writing.
Students work at their own pace and level, with input from the teacher where it counts.
