English language Learning Progressions – There are 4 booklets in the set, with a matrix of the progressions at the back of each booklet. These are useful for planning for teachers, as they enable them to track student progress in the area of English, to see what their students can and can’t do, and also the order of what might be taught and next steps etc.  Especially handy for adapting/creating learning programmes for specific students to enable them to access the curriculum at their level.
