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 6 is a flexible resource for teaching grammar in Key Stage 2. It introduces pupils to grammar and punctuation through fun, engaging themes, such as Behind the Scenes at the Chocolate Factory and The Haunted Lighthouse.
