Classes 1 to 5: Targeting Grammar Activity Books
by Dell Merrick
The Targeting Grammar Activity Book Series is a program for teaching grammar and punctuation to primary school students using a well-tested developmental continuum. It follows a carefully developed scope and sequence that provides comprehensive instruction, enabling all students to become skilled communicators.
Each book delivers basic instruction on grammar conventions appropriate to the year level. The activities provide a step-by-step process towards achieving knowledge and understanding of the elements of grammar and their practical application. The books are divided into six sections that cover the following areas of study: Nouns, Pronouns, Adjectives, Verbs, Adverbs and Sentences. Each section includes definitions, explanations, examples, and activities for students to practise and consolidate their knowledge and understanding of grammar in reading and writing. A removable answer section is included.
