Description

This book offers practical assistance to teachers as they respond to the planning and teaching of grammar in the primary curriculum. The statutory requirements of Attainment Targets and programmes of study are explained and the activities suggest how these requirements can be translated into flexible and imaginative teaching programmes. The book offers responses to teachers' questions about what "grammar" is and how the need to learn a standard form can be met within the context of respect for children's own language. Chapters include: investigating letter patterns; investigating words and word games; investigating phrases and sentences; paragraphs and larger units; punctuation; language diversity and standard English; developing critical language awareness, common difficulties; cross-curricular opportunities.
