Read Write Inc. Literacy and Language Progress Tests, developed by Ruth Miskin, provide engaging resources to consolidate and assess grammar and punctuation, reading comprehension and writing for Years 2 to 6. This handbook is for Years 5&6. Designed to be used alongside Read Write Inc. Literacy and Language, this resource draws on popular children's texts from leading authors and ensures all of your children are fully prepared for the 2016 National Curriculum Tests. Six beautifully illustrated reading comprehension assessment tasks (including fiction, non-fiction and poetry) give children opportunities to develop their independent reading comprehension skills. The fiction texts include short extracts from stories by best-loved children's authors such as Michael Morpurgo, Malorie Blackman and Anthony Horowitz. Engaging Grammar Cards and Assessments can be used to embed children's understanding of grammar concepts and for extra practice and consolidation. End of Year Grammar Tests assess cumulative knowledge and are great practice for the format of the 2016 National Curriculum Tests, helping children meet those higher expectations. Writing banks provide fantastic ideas for independent writing tasks linked to Literacy and Language and build children's confidence in writing for a variety of audiences and purposes.
