New Literacy Kit is an integrated set of resources for teaching Literacy at Key Stage 3. The series is closely tied into the Framework for Teaching English and is now also ideal for supporting your school's Assessment for Learning policy. With on-the-page starters, the Year 8 units cover all three writing strands, and together with the Assess Your Learning pages offer a comprehensive approach to literacy learning for 11-14 year-olds. Content includes: detailed support for all the work in the students' books, including Assessment for Learning; help with teaching strategies and management issues; model answers for all questions; photocopiable/printable writing frames/grids/activities. The Year 8 Teacher's Book is supported by a Students' Book, a Display Texts Pack, and OHT Pack, and two books of Lesson Starters - one covering Word and one Sentence level.
