This book provides teachers with resources, activities, and ideas aimed at introducing students to the basic elements of grammar. The activity pages can be used as a resource around which to build and develop a classroom program. Motivate students by focusing on the goal of good grammar-accurate and effective communication.

In the past, lessons in grammar often became irrelevant and meaningless to students because of the tendency to stress the elements rather than focus on the functions of the elements. This book ensures that the functions of elements such as parts of speech, phrases, and sentences are related to expression in a practical and purposeful way.

This resource is deigned to make it as easy as possible to find what you need. Photocopiable worksheets are grouped according to grammatical element, and each of these elements is introduced with a definition and examples for the teacher, followed by a collection of appropriate and motivating teaching strategies.

Also included at the end of this book are review worksheets which cover both of the two main sections-"Parts of Speech" and "Composition". All the review activities are directly related to the preceding lessons. Finally, there is an answer key that is included to make the use of the worksheets easier and more efficient.
