FOREWORD
In this daily practice workbook you will be able to develop your ability to use English. Each day, you will
have questions to answer in the areas of spelling, word study, punctuation and grammar. The 150 days
of questions are broken into 15 units of 10 days. Each unit has a focus, which will help to improve your
English skills as well as your knowledge about how language works.
At the completion of each set of 10 days, you will have the opportunity to test what you learnt by doing
some revision questions.
Your daily scores are recorded in the bubble at the bottom of each day. These daily scores can be
transferred onto the pupil record sheets at the front of your book. This will give an overview of your
performance for the whole school year.
Be sure to read each question carefully before you answer it. If you find a question too difficult, move on
to the next one. If you have time at the end, you can go back to the one you haven’t done.
