Grammar and Punctuation Book 3 (Year 3)

Description

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 develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to apply them successfully in their own writing.

The Grammar 3 pupil book consists of 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
word families.
Each practice page contains 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. Additional features provided at the back of the book include a Glossary to support the confident use of grammatical terminology and a self-evaluation checklist to encourage pupils to assess their own learning.
