Master your English is a new and innovative English programme for primary schools. Its unique approach focuses on building comprehension and vocabulary skills. Each Master your English book contains 30 units. Each unit has daily work broken down in the following way.
- Monday – pupils will work on their visual skills (visual memory, discrimination, comprehension, recall, sequencing, and association). Pupils will watch an online video or look at a digital poster and answer comprehension questions: a mix of think fast (multiple choice) and deeper thinking questions.
- Tuesday – pupils will work on their auditory skills (memory, discrimination, comprehension, recall, sequencing, and association). Pupils will listen to an online audio recording and answer comprehension questions: a mix of think fast (multiple choice) and deeper thinking questions.
- Wednesday – pupils will read a comprehension passage and answer a mix of comprehension questions. These include literal, inferential, and evaluative questions.
- Thursday – pupils will focus on working tith words, vocabulary development, spelling, phonics and vocabulary usage.
- Friday – pupils will focus on grammar, phonics, dictionary skills and spelling.
