The second edition of the National English Skills 7–10 full-colour workbook series has been fully revised to reflect the content descriptions of the Australian Curriculum, Version 9.0. The series covers the Language, Literature and Literacy strands, addresses cross-curriculum priorities, and supports state-based curriculum requirements.
