Getting Familiar with the Unfamiliar Level 2 is an easy-to-follow workbook that will prepare students for tackling this exam at the end of the year. The workbook has been created for students to use with little or no teacher intervention. However, it would also be a great resource in the classroom.
Texts have been carefully selected to:
• show exemplars of excellent writing (fiction and non-fiction)
• engage students in their study of poetry
• provide lots of practice at identifying and decoding language techniques/features
• teach students how to go ‘beyond the text’ and learn effective strategies to analyse texts
• teach students effective strategies for how to produce better personal reading responses.
