Grammar for Improving Writing and Reading in Secondary School

<p>This practical book is chiefly intended to help English teachers tackle an area of the new English programme that causes anxiety and about which a large proportion are still uncertain: grammar. </p><p>Grammar has been an uncertain classroom topic for many years; taught often as a duty without real progression. In this book the latest knowledge about grammar is treated as a central component of the meaning making process in both reading and writing. Pupils can become better readers and write with greater confidence and control as a result of using this approach to grammar. Teachers of other subjects may also benefit from knowing how to integrate some grammatical teaching into the textual interactions of their lessons. </p>
