How this book is used in our course
English books are worked in short daily sessions rather than one long sitting. For vocabulary, the child covers the meaning, says it aloud, then checks; words that are missed go on a card for the week. For comprehension and cloze, the child attempts the passage under a loose time, then marks against the key and rewrites any answer that lost marks.

What's inside English Mastery 23
Five real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 9 sample pages are in the viewer.
The final level of the puzzle series: twelve missions on the grammar school word list.
One unit per Vocabulary 4 word set, Abate to Yearn, seven puzzles and close to a hundred points each. By now a child knows every game in the book, so all their effort goes into the hardest words in the series, and every Gold here is a word set they could meet on the day.
Thirty words, seven puzzles, 98 points to win.
Abate, abrasive, accumulate, adversity, affluent, ajar, amalgamate, amass, ambiguous, amble, amiss, anarchic. These are the grammar school words, and each one is in the bank with its class before the game starts.
Fifteen gaps, fifteen points, the hardest words yet.
One word bank, the clue always in the sentence. The format is the exam’s; the scoring makes it a game.
Sixteen of the hardest words, one shot at each meaning.
Each meaning used once, so guessing early costs points late. Winning the grid outright is the best feeling in the book.
Score it, medal it, rematch it.
All twelve units answered, so a child marks, totals the points, and replays anything below Gold until the whole book is Gold.
All 12 units in the book follow the pattern shown here.
