Excel Basic Skills: Basic Reading Skills Years 1-2

The Excel Basic Reading Skills series aims to help children with reading and comprehension using short pieces of writing. Each page comprises a one-page exercise ensuring children only need to focus on one simple activity at a time. Now days, most children probably read less than their parents or grandparents did at the same age due to distractions such as television and video games. To excel in reading requires plenty of practice. Fun activities are included.

The activities cover a wide range of reading skills such as:
- basic comprehension of a text
- predicting words in a story
- recognising different 'voices' in a text
- finding words that are wrong
- sorting different kinds of words
- fun activities, such as anagram puzzles and simple crosswords are also included
