How is Treasure House Structured?
Print and digital pupil resources are organised into the skills laid out in the
curriculum: Comprehension; Composition; Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation;
and Spelling. All these skills are brought together in the Teacher’s Guides, which
provide a complete, coherent scheme to cover every year of English lessons.
Teacher’s Guides
All the language skills for the year group are brought together into
one coherent sequence, which you can use as a complete plan for
your whole year’s literacy lessons, or as a flexible starting point. The
Teacher Guides provide progression for your pupils, and support you
in delivering a more demanding skills-based curriculum.
