Working With Words Series Three Scheme of Work Sample Pages
Free sample pages from Working With Words Series Three. There are four packs in the series, each containing 40 English lessons. The work in each pack has been varied to provide lesson content for a range of abilities.

Some of the resources provide useful revision, particularly for perennial problems with words such as ‘their’ and ‘there’ and ‘was’ and ‘were’. A range of material in lighter vein is also included - crosswords, word-games, word-searches etc. Teachers have found this material useful at the end of a project, as homework assignments, or as something different at the end of term.
