How this book is used in our course
English books are worked in short daily sessions rather than one long sitting. For vocabulary, the child covers the meaning, says it aloud, then checks; words that are missed go on a card for the week. For comprehension and cloze, the child attempts the passage under a loose time, then marks against the key and rewrites any answer that lost marks.

What's inside English Mastery 25
Four real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 9 sample pages are in the viewer.
The Year 5 championship: 16 Final Tests on every word of the year, played in the weeks before the exam.
The same four rounds as the Year 4 finals, Cloze, Closest Meaning in Context, Crossword in Context and the GL Meaning Grid, now on the words from Vocabulary 3 and 4. It turns last-minute revision into a medal table, which is the difference between a child who revises vocabulary in the summer and one who does not.
Forty-five points in 25 minutes, Gold at 41: the exam’s vocabulary sections, played as a championship.
"A zebra crossing helps a ____ to cross a busy road safely." Pedestrian, union, dwelling, fragment. The cloze round opens every test, then Closest Meaning, Crossword in Context and the Meaning Grid follow, each scored separately so the weak round shows straight away.
The final round: sixteen of the hardest Year 5 words, sixteen points to win.
Mixed from across both books, so only the meaning wins the point. Clearing the grid is the last vocabulary win before the exam.
Every answer with the word, so every lost point is a word to win back.
"1 a (pedestrian), 2 b (interior), 3 b (fragment)": a child sees the word they missed, re-learns it, and replays the test to upgrade the medal.
All 16 final tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
