Focus On Language Book 2

Tim Lowson — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:40:07 +0000

The activities and suggestions in Focus On Language Book 2 complement the teaching strategies for children who have been identified as being at the independent phase. Typically children at this phase have mastered the basic skills of spelling and need to develop their range of vocabulary and explore the nuances.

With a reliable reference (dictionary, thesaurus) students at this phase should be able to work most of the activities with minimum support.
