Teacher Reference

The Grammar 4 Handbook follows on from The Grammar 3 Handbook and provides revision, consolidation and extension of spelling and grammar rules covered in Phonics, Grammar 1, Grammar 2 and Grammar 3.

The Grammar Handbooks contain 36 spelling and 36 grammar and punctuation lessons for a full year of teaching children for aged 8-9 years. The lessons continue to build upon the knowledge and skills the children have been taught in previous years. Each lesson has a photocopiable worksheet, along with additional resources for extension activities and revision.

Topics covered within the handbook include: revision of topics taught in earlier years; spelling strategies and patterns for complex words; more suffixes and prefixes; verb tenses; homophones; subject and object of a sentence; concrete and abstract nouns; grammatical person; phrases, clauses and sentences and hyphens.
