English Grammar: A Student's Companion

by Roselle Thompson

Overview

This book prepares children for the 11+ independent and State grammar schools as well as the Key Stage 2 SATs tests and Common Entrance at 13 years. Although there are a variety of grammar books on the market, this book is based on over 27 years of the Author's techniques based on teaching, heading schools and rigorously tested exercises done in both school and tuition classrooms.

The book contains a thorough preparation in grammar, and has valuable exercises for all aspects of English literacy development - Primary, Secondary/High School, College and English Language Learners of all ages. The Book is divided into 6 sections with Learning Targets, Focus and Assessment indicators and 145 Test exercises. Each section includes work which combines reading and writing skills to meet students' learning targets. These learning targets state which the student should aim to know and be able to do at the end of the Section. They are written to make the information clear and concise, with exercises for pupils to try by themselves. A Certificate of Achievement and Answers are also provided.
