Description: The Achieve! Series of Science titles has been developed for teachers who require modified, curriculum-focused activities for secondary school students. It is aimed at students who, because of poor literacy skills, struggle to read and comprehend regular classroom materials. 

 

The books are divided into units which focus on a key topic and they contain four to five photocopiable activity worksheets. The units could be taught as a lesson with students in groups of varying sizes. Alternatively, one or more activity sheets can be used as support material, for individual homework, assessment or revision. The Teacher’s Notes provide valuable guidance about using each unit and a student self-assessment sheet is also included.

Contents of each title in the series:
