English Skills for Primary Students 3: Grammar and Punctuation 3e

This edition, now published by Five Senses Education, replaces the 2nd edition ISBN 9780195560329.

The key to academic success in both the classroom and the world beyond school is having students achieve high standards in the knowledge and understanding of the English language. The English Skills for Primary Student: Grammar and Punctuation series provides that key. The book in this series will help improve students' English skills by explicitly demonstrating how the language works, while offering plenty of essential practice opportunities.

• Each of the four books in the series has been carefully graded.
• The two-colour format and appealing layout provides a stimulating platform to engage student learning.
• Only one grammar or punctuation feature is introduced in each unit to ensure that students consolidate on skill before moving on to a new language focus.
• Four new review units, with self-assessment rubrics, have been included to provide cumulative revision.
• Answers are included in each book.
• The boxed explanation in each unit ensures students have a clear understanding of what is required, and can work independently in the classroom or at home.
• A glossary provides students with a quick and handy reference of grammar terms and their meanings.
