How are the units structured?
The units are all built around a main text. In each unit, all sessions except the last focus on the interactive teaching of reading skills. This ranges from applying techniques such as sounding out, re-reading and looking at the context in order to decipher the words on the page, to general enjoyment and appreciation of the texts. Focus 5 introduces the notion of preparing to write. This offers a starting point for independent writing in the genres or text types under study in the unit.
