This comprehensive pack of worksheets is not linked to any particular book or reading scheme and can be used time and again with different books. These worksheets can be used as a class, independently or in small groups. The worksheets are well laid out and colourful. They could also be used as homework sheets. I use them to assess how much a student understood a particular book before letting them to change their book. These worksheets were designed by a highly experienced, motivated primary school teacher to make reading fun and provide an interesting focus to the reader. There are masks to make for plays, mind maps to extend a students thinking, and lots of chances for students to really shine. As this pack has worksheets from Year 1 to Year 6, there is something for every reader. There are worksheets for fiction and non-fiction books. There are worksheets looking at stories and others focusing on poetry.

Big Grammar Book 1: It’s jam-packed from cover to cover with a great selection of photocopiable worksheets taken from the popular website. We wanted to provide teachers with a really useful book of no-nonsense grammar worksheets that they can dip into and use in class with students at Entry Level (ESOL Core Curriculum Entry Levels 1 & 2). It is also ideal for students to work with at home since the answers are all printed at the back. The book is divided into four parts and is graded in difficulty, so that it begins with some basic stuff and builds up to more challenging grammar activities. It features a selection of Essential English worksheets which provide practice for crucial basic areas of knowledge for learners at Entry Level, like using numbers, writing the alphabet, spelling days and months correctly, and so on. Big Grammar Book 2: BGB 2 is packed with 101 printable worksheets for teaching and improving grammar skills in English. The topics are wide and varied, starting with Essential English worksheets that cover the basics, like the alphabet, days, months, and telling the time; then tenses (a lot about tenses!), then irregular verbs, question forms, word order in sentences, parts of English, uncountable nouns, and so on! If you have used the first BGB, you will know what to expect from this one. Around 25% of the worksheets in this book are closely modelled on activities in BGB 1, for example Full Stops 1 & 2 ). The material starts off at beginner level, with the alphabet worksheets, then gets progressively more difficult, while staying in Elementary (A1 / A2) level. Only towards the end do things get “tougher”, with articles, conditionals, and phrasal verbs making their inevitable appearance! Don’t worry – all the answers and notes for use are included at the back of this book. Big Book Grammar Intermediate Level Big Grammar Book Intermediate Book 1! This grammar book is for you if you are studying English at intermediate level (B2) and above. It’s full of great material for testing your English grammar skills at this level – including question forms, state verbs, phrasal verbs, reported speech, use of articles, error correction, and much more. Many of the worksheets have a special emphasis on using the tenses and structures that you need to practise now, namely past perfect, past perfect continuous, past continuous, present perfect continuous, future continuous, future perfect, and the four conditionals.
