{"product_id":"9780721712970","title":"Understanding English: Non-Fiction by Carol Matchett","description":"Understanding English is a series of topic-based study books for children in Key Stage 2, providing rigorous practice of key subject areas. Each topic contains a concise summary of the information required by the National Curriculum, making the series ideal for use as preparation for the Key Stage 2 tests. Each book is a stand-alone resource, so children can either work through them in order or focus on individual aspects of the subject. Together, the eight books support the whole of the Key Stage 2 English curriculum, providing a solid foundation for success in English.  Non-fiction meets the National Curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2 English, and covers the following areas: using reference books, skim reading, fact and opinion, technical words, summaries, discussions, explanations and reports. This book shows how a range of non-fiction texts  -  including instructions, accounts and advertisements  -  can best be understood.   Key features of Understanding English include: an 'Explanation' to introduce each topic; activities to consolidate and revise knowledge and skills; thought-provoking facts to foster a love of learning beyond the National Curriculum; 'Now you try' activities to develop children's understanding of English outside the classroom.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296909242741,"sku":"9780721712970","price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780721712970.jpg?v=1762776060","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780721712970","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
