Comprehension and Text Response
Secondary students tend to struggle with tasks given for English homework because they have never really been taught how to do a comprehension task. How can you write about a news item in the paper, when your comprehension skills are not strong and the subject and vocabulary are unfamiliar?
We introduce students to comprehension with anecdotes about familiar situations, so they can develop their skills within their comfort zone.
Grammar
Oddly enough, grammar exercises are not in the secondary school curriculum, yet students are penalised for bad grammar in their essays. English Wiz helps you avoid commonly made mistakes.
English Wiz: Upper Secondary
The Upper Secondary covered by the English Wiz Series and it is designed to bring your child’s writing skills up to the standard required to succeed in Senior School.
- Spelling dictation tests
- Comprehension
- Writing Style
- Poetry Analysis
- Grammar
The emphasis is on achieving a high standard in writing and comprehension skills. We are now applying the skills touched on in the Lower Secondary section, to more demanding situations. The student is asked to listen to the teacher, and think carefully about the exercise.
Lessons are still in the same easy to use format, but at a higher level with an emphasis on understanding the structure of language. This helps with writing essays and text analyses. At school, marks are lost if grammar and writing style are not up to standard.
Keep track of your child’s performance
Very extensive reporting is always available – your child’s results are automatically recorded and kept permanently on the computer being used and displays an analysis of all results.
