Publisher：OXFORD University Press
Author：Tamzin Thompson

The Oxford Primary Skills series is designed to be used alongside a coursebook to develop reading and writing skills, and uses a balance of familiar and new language in different contexts.

Each level of Reading and writing is made up of ten units that are designed to be used in order. The texts progress in length and the skills practised progress in difficulty through the book. The units follow a grammar and vocabulary syllabus designed to be consistent with what the children are learning in their language lessons.

** Reading **
There are a variety of reading text tgpes through the course to expose children to different tgpes of English in use. Children will be motivated bg their ability to read and understand 'real' text types such as websites and magazine articles that have been graded to their level. Children develop the skills of reading and listening for gist and detail, both of which are essential for complete communicative competence.

Some of the text types they will encounter are, amongst others:
stories, magazine articles, advertisements, leaflets, websites, projects, reference book articles.

** Writing **
In the Writing section of each unit, the children practise punctuation, sgntax and text structuring, and are given the opportunitg to write different tgpes of text closely following a model text that will support them in structuring their writing. Their writing confidence will develop as they find theg have written, amongst others:letters, descriptions, instructions, projects, diarg entries, website profiles.

** More Words **
At the back of the book is an optional section of vocabulary extension exercises that can be used to augment the number of words the children learn in each unit from six to eleven. The extra words are consistent with the topic of the unit and can be used by children to complete the activities in the Writing task at the end of each unit.

It is to be stressed that these words are optional and it is perfectly possible to complete the course without using this additional section.
