Publisher's Synopsis
Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation (formerly Jolly Grammar) is a six-level programme that gives young children the skills they need to spell and punctuate more accurately, use a wider vocabulary and have a clearer understanding of how language works. The Teacher's Book for each level offers in-depth guidance on the programme, which introduces new spelling patterns, supports a greater understanding of sentence structure, expands vocabulary and comprehension and cultivates dictionary and thesaurus skills. It also provides a set of structured lesson plans that introduce complex grammatical concepts in an engaging and child-friendly way. As part of the new Jolly Literacy brand, all the Teacher's Books have new covers and ISBNs. Levels 2-6 remain the same in terms of content, but the inside pages have a fresher look and feel. Level 1, however, is a new edition with updated content that includes a full scope and sequence for the 36 units, a revised introduction, and new lessons on ‹ph›; the /air/ spellings; ‹ear› saying /ear/; suffixes; comparatives and superlatives; and sentence work (sequencing/using the joining word 'and'). Level 1 also has a completely new design that complements the new Comprehension & Creative Writing course. Both programmes are designed to work seamlessly together, and new editions of the other levels will be published alongside Comprehension & Creative Writing, Levels 2-6.
