When there is an area of English that is difficult to understand and that learners struggle with, it is wonderful to have a helping hand to make things easier. The Language Gaps series offers just that kind of help!
The five Language Gaps books cover some of the core skills that Intermediate Phase learners need as the building blocks of their language journey in English Home Language or English First.

Additional Language:
• Language Gaps – Concord, grammar and tenses
• Language Gaps – Reading with comprehension
• Language Gaps – Working with words
• Language Gaps – Literature
• Language Gaps – Writing

Language teaching in the classroom happens in an integrated way. The Language Gaps books
were developed to give learners the chance to practice one skill at a time to help learners to
overcome problem areas so that they don’t continue into later years.

Each Language Gaps book covers Grades 4, 5 and 6 and works through all the basics that learners
will need.
