Understanding and Teaching Grammar in the Primary Classroom

Understanding and Teaching Grammar in the Primary Classroom is a practical guide written by a busy classroom teacher who knows what trainee and practising teachers need. It provides an easy-to-follow approach to teaching grammar in a way that will engage both you and your pupils. At its core is the idea that as our language grows, so our understanding grows - grammar is not the study of what to say and how to say it, but of what it is possible to think, feel and express in words. Illustrated with practical lesson ideas and easy-to-use classroom strategies, it offers an introduction to developing grammatical subject knowledge, together with explanations of key concepts and vocabulary.
