Achieve English - Reading For Meaning 2

While very suitable for the regular classroom, each of the English titles in the Achieve! series has been written at a literacy level that makes the pages appropriate for secondary school students who, because of poor reading skills, may struggle to comprehend regular classroom materials. Reading for Meaning 2 continues in the style of the first book in the series. It includes a range of text types for students to interpret and analyse, such as instructional, persuasive, recount, narrative, scripts and poetry. The activities explore strategies that assist reading comprehension and outline key features of each genre. Students read about a range of interesting topics, including space holidays, body art, buying a car, skateboarding, human-powered vehicles and street art. The CD contains all the pages that are featured in the book, as well as a file of illustrations that can be used for other work sheets. These files can be easily edited to suit the needs of your students. Topics include: Key words and hooks; Features of persuasive texts; Developing a point of view; Sequencing plot points; Layout features of a script; Open and closed questions; Fact or opinion; Reading diagrams; Action, silence and subtext in play scripts; Shared reading strategies; Adjectives and emotive language.
