Targeting English is the comprehensive, integrated scheme for exploring the many ways in which we use English.

The new, full-colour English series for Australian primary schools that integrates learning across all areas of English:

 - Reading and comprehension
 - Text types
 - Grammar
 - Speaking and listening
 - Writing

The Targeting English series of Student Books, Teaching Guides and Big Books provides comprehensive coverage of the primary English curriculum.

Many teachers ask the question:

How do I fully integrate the way many aspects of the English syllabus into a comprehensive study of English and how it works?

Today, more than ever before, students need to be able to read, write and understand a wide variety of texts. To do this students have to:

 - develop a range of comprehension strategies
 - improve their knowledge of grammar and punctuation
 - practise their speaking and listening skills
 - read and write a wide range of fiction and nonfiction text types

We developed Targeting English to meet this challenge!

The 12 integrated units in each Targeting English student book provide a clear model for teaching and learning that builds strong skills in:

1.  Reading: Read and explore a variety of texts on a topic using full-colour, real-life extracts.

2. Comprehension: Use a variety of comprehension strategies to deepen student understanding of texts.

3. Speaking and Listening: Reinforce clear speaking and attentive listening skills with integrated partner activities. The CD-ROM in the Teaching Guide has audio samples for whole-class activities.

4. Visual Literacy: Actively builds visual literacy skills by focusing on pictures, diagrams and student drawings.

5. Text types: Understand that people read and write texts for different purposes and for different audiences.

6. Writing: Improve writing skills with models, scaffolds and regular practice.

7. Grammar: Build grammar and usage skills in context with activities integrated into each unit.

8. Assessment: Makes test preparation an integrated part of the teaching process. Each book has six NAPLAN-style mutiple-choice tests. The Teaching Guide has a range of other assessment activities provided as photocopy-masters.
