Oxford English Quest is an exciting English resource that provides quality complete texts for shared reading and comprehension, and activities to improve the quality of children's writing. Texts are carefully differentiated to provide for a range of levels in the classroom. Through studying the texts, children will learn techniques to apply to their own writing.

Each year group has a CD-ROM with Powerpoint texts for shared work, a Companion with short stories, non-fiction texts and poetry covering all required text types, and a Pupil Book with differentiated activities to support comprehension, grammar, speaking and listening, and drama. The Teacher's Resource Kit contains the CD-ROM, clear overviews of the unit objectives, and comprehensive teaching notes.

Each year group is provided with six units, two per term, with each unit representing 10+ weeks' work.
