Grammar in Action Book 1

Grammar in Action is a new workbook series designed for students in the first three years of secondary school. It will help them to learn, understand and put into practice the skills needed to provide a strong foundation for their language and writing development. Each book contains twenty units.

In each unit, each aspect of grammar is covered in two parts:

• In Focus - this double-page spread teaches students about grammar, punctuation and writing skills in the traditional way. A concise explanation is provided, followed with examples of usage and a series of graded exercises.
• In Context - this double-page spread explores a particular grammar point in the context of a piece of writing. This allows students to see how grammar functions in context and encourages them to reflect on how it helps to enhance and shape the writing.
• Finally, students use what they have learned by applying it to their own writing.
• A range of creative suggestions and writing tasks is provided.
