GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION 3

Comprising six pupil books and six accompanying teacher's guides, one for each primary school year, Schofield & Sims Grammar and Punctuation is a comprehensive programme for teaching grammar and punctuation while also building on vocabulary, reading and writing skills. Through structured lessons, stimulating focus texts and engaging practice activities, children not only learn the correct terminology and usage of grammar and punctuation, but also build up the skills, knowledge and confidence to apply them successfully in their own writing. The Grammar 3 pupil book contains 30 single-page lessons and covers the National Curriculum requirements for Year 3.Featured topics include conjunctions; comparative adjectives; the articles 'a' and 'an'; adverbs; prepositions; direct speech; past and perfect verb forms; main and subordinate clauses; pronouns; nouns with prefixes and suffixes; headings and paragraphs; and word families. Each pupil book practice page includes a concise summary of the key learning point for each lesson, followed by two short 'Try it' exercises and a 'Sentence practice' activity. Regular 'Revision' pages reinforce learning, while imaginative 'Writing tasks' allow children to 'show off' their grammar and punctuation skills in a more formal context.
