Publisher's Synopsis
The book contains lists of the parts of speech, opposites, synonyms, homophones, proverbs, abbreviations, idioms, etc. which every pupil should know before leaving Junior School. The practice tests in New Junior English Revised provide ample material which is similar to that found in modern examination papers. Included are twenty Comprehension Tests, carefully graded according to difficulty. All the comprehensions concern topics of interest to both boys and girls. They have been selected from the works of recognised Caribbean and international children's authors. The comprehension tests include vocabulary items and the questions are all objective-type. New Junior English Revised supports the Caribbean Junior English course, and reinforces all other language courses. It will prepare your pupils thoroughly for the Common Entrance Examination. Alterations have been made to most items in the exercises in an effort to correct bias of any sort, as well as to make them more relevant to the experiences of Caribbean children. The authors of New Junior English Revised are Haydn Richards, Pamela Mordecai and Grace Walker Gordon.
