Each book consists of 50-120 Worksheets with ten questions each. A key is alo included. The author has been most mindful of the choice of words, word frequency, range of vocabulary and sentence structures.

Students using these books should find vocabulary learning both stimulating ond enjoyable. Not only will the exercises test the pupils’ knowledge of words, but they will induce them to search for those words that they do not know. Teachers will find that, results can be ‘Gchieved in vocabulary training through the regular and systematic use of these books over a period with the pupils.PRIMARY GRAMMARWorksheet 1 Worksheet 2 Worneet 3 Worksnest 4 Worksheet 5 Worksheet 6 Worksheet 7 Worksheet 8 Worksheet 9 Worksheet 10 Wosksheet 11 Worksheet 12 Worksheet 13 Worksheet 14 Wiorkehest 15 Worksheet 16 Wosksret 17 Woeksheet 18 Wornshest 19 Worksheet 20 Worksheet 21 Woesheet 22 ‘erksheet 23 Worksheet 24 1 Workshest 25 Worsshest 26 Worksheet 27 Worksheet 23 Worksheet 29 Worksheet 30 Weekshest 317 Wosksheet 32 Worksheet 33 Worksheet 34 Worksheet 35 Worksheet 36 Worksheet 37 Werkshest 33 Worksheet 39 Worksheet 40 Wiorkehest 41 Wiorkenget <2 Vesksnest 23 Worksheet 44 Worksheet 45 Worksheet 48 Worksheet 47 Worksheet 43 Workshest 49 Worksheet 50 Worksheet 8) Worksheet 52 Worksnest 53 Woresheet 54 Workshest 85 CONTENTS Worksheet 56 Worksheet Werkshest Workenest Vieekshest Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Vrorcsneet™ Worksheet Wertshest Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Workenest Wiorkenest Weeethe Worksheet Worksheet Workenaet Worksheet Viovkaneet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Workshest Woenarest Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet ‘Worksheet Worasheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet 100 ‘Worksheet 101 Worksheet 102 Worksheet 103 Worksheet 104 Worksheet 105 Wirkehest 104 erksheet 107 ‘Worksheet 108 ‘Worksheet 109) Worksheet 110, 8 sYowENaseee 135PRIMARY VOCABULARY VOCABULARYSoeur Choose the best answer in each of the following ond write its number in the brackets provided. 1.
