The underlying premise of the Getting to Grips with English Grammar
scheme is that pupils need to see how authors use grammar and have
opportunities to use it in their own writing for them to truly
understand it. Throughout the series, entertaining reading passages
introduce pupils to key grammar points and provide talking points for
how the grammar is used. Engaging activities, all linked to the themes
of the reading passages, provide reinforcement and enable children to
practise using the grammar in their own writing.
Mini quizzes at the end of each theme assess how much they have
remembered. Answers at the back of the book make checking children's
work easy.
Getting to Grips with English Grammar, Year 2 is a flexible resource
for teaching grammar in Key Stage 1. It introduces pupils to grammar and
punctuation through fun, engaging themes, such as Nelson the Dragon and
Trip to Planet Zak. The six books in the series provides complete
coverage of the grammar and punctuation Programmes of Study for the
National Curriculum for England. Grammar and punctuation rules are
systematically introduced, revisited and consolidated, ensuring that
pupils become confident at using grammar.
