Description

A Creative Approach to Teaching Grammar offers a comprehensive whole school approach to teaching grammar and punctuation. This book provides three simple steps to motivate and engage children: explicit teaching and modelling, over forty practical games and activities, and application and improvement through editing and proof reading. Drawing on recent research and classroom practice, the author shares practical examples that develop teachers' understanding of grammatical terms and progression. The book shows how this approach can have a significant impact on vocabulary, sentence structure, and children's writing in general. A balance is struck between explicitly teaching skills within an exciting and interesting curriculum.
