Designed to support writing projects, this volume offers advice to children on writing a letter. It makes suggestions to guide and encourage children to be creative - whilst delivering and reviewing basic skills. It is part of a series seeking to provide both dip-in resources to support the National Curriculum and the National Literacy strategy and "from cover to cover" projects to produce one or more pieces of extended writing, or multiple pieces of shorter work. The books should also help readers to evaluate work (theirs and that of others) as well as helping them make their own work.
English Adventure uses familiar Disney characters that children know and love to motivate and encourage pupils to learn. At this level a balance of Disney characters and real life situations keep pupils interested and motivated. The focus is on oral communication but the children work more with the written language at this level.
