How this book is used in our course
English books are worked in short daily sessions rather than one long sitting. For vocabulary, the child covers the meaning, says it aloud, then checks; words that are missed go on a card for the week. For comprehension and cloze, the child attempts the passage under a loose time, then marks against the key and rewrites any answer that lost marks.

What's inside English Mastery 24
Four real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 9 sample pages are in the viewer.
The Year 4 championship: 24 Final Tests, Bronze, Silver or Gold on every one.
Four rounds per test, each in a real exam format. Cloze: a sentence, a gap and five options, the commonest vocabulary question on GL papers. Closest Meaning in Context, CEM-style, with the opposite hidden among the options. Crossword in Context, where every clue is a sentence with a missing word. The 16-word GL Meaning Grid. Played in the summer of Year 4, it is the final round before Year 5, and the scoreboard shows whether every word made it through.
Forty-five points, four rounds, 25 minutes: Gold at 41, Silver at 34, Bronze at 27.
Every Final Test opens with its scoreboard: Cloze out of 10, Closest Meaning out of 7, Crossword in Context out of 12, Meaning Grid out of 16, and the medal thresholds beside it. A child knows exactly what Gold takes before they start, and a parent sees round by round where the points were dropped.
The final round: erupt, delirious, levity, boorish, penury, evanescent, sixteen points on the board.
Sixteen words from across both Year 4 books, sixteen meanings, each used once. The words are mixed from every part of the alphabet, so there is no remembering which set they came from; only the meaning wins the point.
Every round answered: total the points, claim the medal.
All twenty-four tests answered by section, so a child scores against Gold, re-learns the missed words, and plays the test again a week later to upgrade the medal.
All 24 final tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
