The Achieve! series of English 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. Many of the work sheets are also suitable as supplementary material for regular classes.

This downloadable PDF resource, Text Types – Narrative 1, breaks down the elements of a narrative text into manageable explanations and provides short, appropriate examples. Scaffolded activities help students to develop their own stories and to understand the key features of the narrative structure. The short examples and accompanying activities develop reading skills, while other activities focus on knowledge of sentence and word level grammar. The units of work focus on the stages of a narrative, the creation of characters and setting, and effective planning strategies.
