The Checkpoint English series consists of three books and
one CD. Together they form an incremental programme of work
with clear goals aimed at raising standards in English.
- Each book is divided into units
that cover the key curriculum requirements of reading, writing,
usage and speaking and listening.
- The units have been arranged across the three years to
establish, revisit and consolidate these skills.
- The texts have been chosen for their quality and richness
in classroom study.
- Activities are designed to introduce pupils to the focus
for the sequence of work and to engage their interest.
- Within each unit, several pages are given to reinforcing
new knowledge or skills in context.
- Photocopiable pages contain actitivites where a more hands-on
approach is suitable.
- Usage sections focus attention on sentence structure,
grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary.
- Progression is built into each unit of study and across
the course as a whole.
- Many of the units are free-standing, allowing the flexibility
to link them with other units or with material the teacher
has sourced from elsewhere.
- The accompanying CD provides audio support where it is
most helpful to pupils and this is clearly indicated within
the text by the CD icon.
