Support pupils moving from primary to secondary school with this complete Year 6 to Year 7 English summer transition booklet.

Designed specifically for learners who benefit from greater structure and reassurance, this accessible six-week resource contains 30 short, carefully sequenced English sessions, complete answers and detailed checking guidance.

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

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

Across the booklet, pupils develop and revisit essential transition skills, including:

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

The Support pathway includes larger, accessible text, clear hints, multiple-choice support, sentence stems, guided evidence use and carefully reduced scaffolding as pupils become more confident.

Each week follows a consistent structure:

four daily skill-development sessions;
a Friday retrieval and extended-response task;
a reflection page for improving one response, recording key learning, checking confidence and setting a target.
