Dear Teacher

Welcome to our first-ever teacher catalogue of secondary Excel English resources. We have been helping students with their learning for 25 years.

• The bestselling Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 Excel Essential Skills English Workbook series has been fully updated for the Australian Curriculum with an extra 30 pages per title. Comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, punctuation, proofreading and writing are covered in each of the 15 units of work for each title.

• The new Excel Years 7–8 Grammar and Punctuation Workbook, part of the Excel Essential Skills Years 7–10 Grammar and Punctuation Workbook series, is out now! It includes 16 units of work where all the grammar and punctuation rules are covered in themed units to make the work interesting and relevant for students.

• The new Excel Years 7–8 Writing and Spelling Workbook, part of the Excel Essential Skills Years 7–10 Writing and Spelling Workbook series, will be out in April. It includes 12 units of work where a student is taken through generic steps in each unit to improve their writing and spelling—planning and organisation, structure, language features, spelling and samples of students’ writing—in the context of a specific type of text.

• The new Excel Years 7–8 Reading and Vocabulary Workbook, part of the Excel Essential Skills Years 7–10 Reading and Vocabulary Workbook series, will be out in May.
