Everything you need to teach grammar in the primary classroom.
What is the subjunctive mood? And when do you use a semi-colon? Are these questions that you, as a teacher, are afraid to ask? Cue this book! Written by two experienced teachers, The Grammar Book provides everything you need to teach grammar at primary level. Covering what you need to know as well as practical ideas to enliven your teaching, this book will make grammar fun and engaging – for both the pupils and for you too!
Written in Zoë and Timothy Paramour's funny, frank and reassuring style, this definitive guide is all about the importance of teaching grammar as a tool for writing, not as an 'extra' and certainly not as a boring lesson. Instead, the ideas presented are linked to a range of National Curriculum units, with original short texts through which the teaching of grammar is used to support the delivery of the wider English curriculum and prepare children for Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG) assessments. All teaching resources can also be downloaded from the companion website.
Each chapter covers a different element of grammar and provides you with everything you need to know as well as teaching ideas, cross-curricular links and resources, making The Grammar Book a must-have resource for teaching grammar effectively at primary level.

Industry Reviews
Where was this book when I changed year groups? The Paramours have written a superb book, complete with examples, explanations and activities to cover grammar for both Key Stage 1 and 2. It has helpful justifications on certain rules and handily highlights the grey areas of grammar (which that one child in your class will always point out). Certain sections refamiliarised me with the areas I teach, while others gave me ideas for tasks I can do to teach this essential, yet often stealth, aspect of our reading and writing. -- Stephen Lockyer * Primary Teacher, @mrlockyer *
The Grammar Book is a must-read for every teacher. It clearly outlines the essential understanding relating to each aspect of grammar progression across Key Stages 1 and 2, then gives amazing ideas and activities to teach each aspect in the classroom. An in-depth knowledge of grammar and its applications across the curriculum is crucial for any teacher to support the challenges of the modern curriculum effectively. -- Andrew Jennings * Assistant headteacher and founder of Vocabulary Ninja, @VocabularyNinja *
