Getting to Grips with English Grammar, Year 1

Give your Year 1 pupils a solid grammatical base with these fun-packed, imaginative activities. Grammar and punctuation rules are systematically introduced, ensuring that pupils become confident in using grammar.

Written by Charlotte Makhlouf, the best-selling author of the Brilliant Activities for Reading Comprehension series, Getting to Grips with English Grammar, Year 1 introduces pupils to grammar and punctuation through fun, engaging themes. Pupils will love thinking of verbs to describe what all the creatures on Dragon Island are doing, but can they think of questions for Detective Dog to ask at the crime scene?

The underlying premise of the Getting to Grips with English Grammar series is that pupils need to see how grammar is used in context and have opportunities to use it themselves 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.

Help your pupils get a firm grip on grammar and punctuation with this six-book series published by award-winning Brilliant Publications.
