Prepare pupils confidently for secondary-school English with this complete Year 6 to Year 7 English summer transition booklet.

Designed for pupils working at an age-appropriate Core level, this six-week resource contains 30 carefully sequenced English sessions together with a complete answer and guidance booklet.

Pupils work with six original weekly texts across a varied range of genres:

mystery fiction;
explanatory non-fiction;
poetry;
drama;
memoir;
persuasive writing.

Across the six weeks, pupils practise and develop:

retrieval and precise evidence selection;
vocabulary in context;
grammar, punctuation and sentence accuracy;
inference;
language and structure analysis;
viewpoint and comparison;
summary writing;
creative, informative and persuasive writing;
extended analytical responses.

Each week contains four focused skill-development sessions followed by a Friday review. The Friday tasks retrieve learning from across the week and culminate in a longer reading or writing response.

The Core pathway includes
age-appropriate independent reading;
clear but reduced scaffolding;
regular evidence use;
vocabulary and grammar practice;
structured analytical questions;
increasingly independent extended writing;
misconception reminders;
weekly reflection and reasoning tasks.
