Jool - Foundation Skills Workbook - Term 1 2024

Jool Foundation: Term 1
Build Skills. Spark Confidence. Set Minds Free.
 
Get ready for a transformative learning journey with Jool Foundation: Term 1, authored by James Roe. This workbook is designed to develop the essential academic skills every young learner needs—while nurturing independence, creativity, and intellectual courage.
This isn’t a worksheet pack.
It’s training for how to think.
 
What Students Will Learn
✍️ Master the T.E.E.A. Method
Students learn to write clear, confident, academically structured paragraphs using Topic Sentence, Explanation, Example, and Analysis.
Every extended answer is a full, thoughtful sentence, with at least six words per line and—most importantly—an explanation of why they think so.
 
🧠 Boost Vocabulary for Life
Through the Vocabulary Square technique, students build real retention using:
Custom definitions
Personal example sentences
Image associations
This isn’t memorisation—it’s integration.
 
🚀 Cultivate Independent Thought
The Jool philosophy trains students to be free and bold writers. They learn to trust their ideas, express opinions clearly, and write without fear of being “wrong”.
We don’t aim for perfect answers—we aim for original thinkers.
 
🐵 Grammar & Listening that Stick
Students help the mischievous Grammar Gorilla fix classic grammar mistakes before they become habits.
Curated video links provide dynamic listening practice that sharpens comprehension and real-world English skills.
