Brilliant Activities for Grammar and Punctuation is a 6-book
photocopiable series to teach basic grammatical and punctuation concepts
in a fun and memorable way, which will challenge and stimulate the whole
class. Pupils are motivated to think logically about the activities and
to share their knowledge and understanding with their peers through
working individually, in pairs, groups or, sometimes, in whole class
contexts. The sheets enable pupils to practise, reinforce and
consolidate grammar and punctuation skills and concepts, and meet the
needs of the Programmes of Study in the National Curriculum for England.
The books provide teachers with the tools they need to teach grammar
effectively and will complement other language and literacy schemes of
work. The activities introduce the technical terms pupils need in order
to be able to discuss language and promote the necessity of making the
childrenʼs learning functional. When pupils properly understand the
effects that grammar and punctuation have on text, they can transfer
that knowledge to their own writing and thus develop their skills.
