Specials! are written to meet the needs of 11 to 14 year old students with lower level literacy skills. With simple text, but a more mature format, the books in this series aim to give students a feeling of success in their work, whilst ensuring full access to the curriculum. Each book includes photocopiable activity sheets, interesting and stimulating visuals, detailed teacher pages, support material, assessment and links to the National Curriculum. With Specials! +CD you can customise all the student material! The CD-ROMs contain activity, resource and assessment sheets in an editable format, enabling you to customise them to suit both your needs and the abilities of your students. For example, you could re-word the text, offer multiple-choice answers, add your own images or add personal objectives to the assessment sheets. In addition, all of the artwork from the book is supplied on the CD-ROM so you can use it to create your own worksheets. Functional English: Writing covers topics such as: Short, simple sentences; Upper and lower case; Compound sentences; Question marks; Plan, draft and organise; Verb tense and subject; Logical sequencing; Complex sentences; and Apostrophes.
