Bond SATs Skills Spelling and Vocabulary Workbook: 10-11 years [Paperback] Hughes, Michellejoy and Bond SATs Skills Review: Great support for Spelling and vocabulary - Use this as an additional support for my daughter for spelling and vocabulary. She likes it and very clear to follow. Review: Bond SATs Skills - Spelling and Vocabulary 8-9 years - Bond have always been known for workbooks aimed at the 11+, but now they have a whole new range of books which are for the Key Stage 2 SATs exams. The books are for four different age groups (8-9 years, 9-10 years, 10-11 years and 10-11+ years stretch workbook) and cover Grammar and Punctuation, Spelling and Vocabulary and Arithmetic. There are also Vocabulary Flashcards and Times Tables Flashcards available in this series, as well as a Times Tables workbook. As reviews for workbooks tend to be cross posted by desertcart, I will make it clear that this review is for the Spelling and Vocabulary Workbook and for years 8-9. If the review appears on other books, then please note that I did not post it there. This book has ten units of activities, which cover the spelling and vocabulary element of the National Curriculum and are useful not only for SATs exams, but also for children preparing for the 11+. The units include word lists, helpful hints, a pull out answer section, a progress chart at the back of the book and each page allows children to score their marks as they go along. This is full of crosswords, word searches, cloze exercises, anagrams, synonyms and antonyms and puzzles. Like all Bond workbooks, this one is well laid out. I like the fact that – although units can be four or five pages – children mark each page as they go along (or you can). This means that they get feedback instantly and it also means that you can give them one page to complete at a time, if you do not want them to do a whole unit at once. This is good ‘extra’ homework and is also useful for home schooling or tutoring. I like this very much and suspect there will be similar books for KS1 in the future.
