Grammar First
Author(s): Ray Barker
This work examines model texts that illustrate rules, encouraging students to apply and consolidate grammar in their writing. The texts develop grammar skills within a textual context targeting Sentence Level objectives of the Framework for Teaching English, with a cross-curricular emphasis. "Grammar First" is a new, differentiated programme designed to compliment "Write First and Spelling First."
