HOW DO OUR WORKBOOKS HELP
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS?
See pages 6–9
‘They are a godsend. Every morning we use them as daily practice. Each unit
contains enough variation to cover spellings, phonics, vocabulary, punctuation
etc. These workbooks are just brilliant for reinforcing and extending the
children’s command of English. They are so popular in my classroom that the
children want to know if there is a ‘part 2’ for each book as we have almost
finished each book!’
NIAMH KELLY
See pages 10–13
‘Our students love the characters and the colourful formation patterns in
Handwriting today. I love the progression of the books and the inclusion of
some fun cross-curricular activities.’
A NNE-MARIE, YEAR 1 TEACHER
See pages 14–15
‘This is a super scheme which caters well for all ability levels. Activities are
varied and engaging for the children. Excellent support for phonics and
teaching of spelling.’
JOAN-MARIE HEALY
See pages 18–21
‘New wave mental maths is a wonderful resource for any teacher. I can’t
recommend it highly enough. There is never enough time in a teacher’s day
for all the topics we not alone have to introduce and teach, but we also have
to constantly revise. New wave mental maths takes some of the pressure off
for revision. It also times the introduction of new topics really well. I have used
it for many years and hope to continue to use it for many more!’

REVISED EDITION 2022
‘This book really helps to consolidate
and develop my students’ ability
and confidence to use English. The
children in my class really enjoyed
completing the 10 questions and
enjoyed discussing the answers
within their small groups.’
A SHLEY A ZZOPARDI
HOW DOES ENGLISH SKILLS PRACTICE
HELP STUDENTS AND TEACHERS?
‘This is my first year using English skills practice and it is an
amazing book. It draws attention to grammar as the building
blocks of sentences, and language, and focuses on what children
need to know in order to understand the nuances of texts rather
than prescriptive, repetitive exercises on one topic at a time.’
A LAN Ó’ C EALLAIGH
‘The books challenge children and provide repetition
to support children in their learning. They are a
steal for the amount of work provided in them. They
have improved children’s spelling, punctuation and
grammar through daily repetition in our class.
A must for every booklist!’
E LAINE J OY
‘We love these books for revising all grammar
topics throughout the year. They use technical
vocabulary and exam-style questions to quickly
touch on lots of different aspects of grammar.’
C LAIRE O RR
A WORD FROM
DETERMINING, CONSOLIDATING AND
LEVELLING STUDENTS’ LITERACY SKILLS
'There is no doubt that good literacy skills are the foundation for success in all learning areas.
Whether it’s reporting the results of a science experiment or retelling traditional stories in
history, students widely benefit from targeted daily practice of basic spelling, punctuation
and grammar. The English skills practice workbooks were originally developed for this
exact purpose. Based on the format of the globally successful New wave mental
maths series, the complementary English workbooks were designed to help
teachers consolidate previously taught language concepts, build students’
literacy skills and identify areas for improvement. This year, the series
has been given an updated look to enhance student engagement. With
simple explanations of key language concepts, colourful illustrations
and enlarged text and spacing, teachers can feel confident that their
students are learning and applying important spelling, punctuation
and grammar concepts in just 10–15 minutes per day.'

HOW DO STUDENTS KEEP
MOMENTUM OF THEIR LEARNING?
A WORD FROM
‘When I started teaching in the early 1990s, I found that
a large number of students lacked understanding and
skills of simple maths, like telling the time, basic facts,
money and simple strategies. Traditionally, these skills
are taught and worked on once and then forgotten. I find
that this is causing a tremendous strain on both teachers
and students and is the main reason I’ve developed N e w
wave mental maths. The workbooks provide a way to
reinforce taught concepts through repeated practice and
lift students’ overall maths results.’
