INTRODUCTION
The Format of The Grammar 1 Handbook
The program consists primarily of reproducible activity sheets for two lessons a week. Each lesson is designed to be about one hour in duration, and material is provided for 36 weeks. Teaching ideas are offered alongside each activity sheet. There are two elements to the program, namely spelling and grammar. Each week the first lesson is devoted to spelling and the second to grammar. These terms are used loosely and there is some overlapping: punctuation, vocabulary development, and alphabet work are among the areas covered in both spelling and grammar lessons. This is a deliberate feature of the program, as the two elements complement each other when blended together. The teaching is intended to be envisaged as part of a broader literacy program. If two days’ literacy sessions are devoted to grammar and spelling each week, this leaves three for other areas, such as comprehension, group reading, independent and creative writing, and handwriting practice. The students should be shown how spelling and grammar relate to their other literacy work in comprehension, reading, and independent writing; for instance, if they have recently covered compound words and there is an example of one in the poem they are studying, the students should be encouraged to look for it. The teaching ideas alongside each activity sheet give useful suggestions and reminders. More detailed explanations and advice are provided in the following two chapters: “Teaching Ideas for Grammar” and “Teaching Ideas for Spelling.” To avoid confusion, the Grammar Handbooks follow the convention of using different symbols to distinguish between letter names and letter sounds. Letter names are indicated by the symbols ‹ › , whereas letter sounds are indicated by the symbols / / : so, for example, the word “ship” begins with the letter ‹s› and starts with the /sh/ sound.

Review: Review some basic sounds. Review tricky words “I” and “the.”
Flash cards: • basic sou nds • tricky word s Spelling Sh eet 2 Spelling Lis t2 Chest shap e
Main point: Review the ‹ch› spelling of the /ch/ sound. With the students, make a list of words which use it. Then ask them to make up sentences using some of the words. The words could also be written onto a big chest shape, which can then be used as a word bank for display.
Spelling Sheet 2: The students write inside the outlined ch, using the correct letter formation. Then in each chest they write a ‹ch› word and draw a picture for that word. Afterward they color the sheet. Coloring develops pencil control. Encourage the students to color and write neatly. Dictation: Read the words and sentences for the students to write down. The Dictation Master on page 171 may be copied onto the back of the spelling sheets for the students to write on.
Spelling list: Read the spelling words with the students. As a class, call out the sounds in the regular words, and say the letter names for the tricky words “he” and “she.” When teaching “he” and “she,” remind the students that the ‹h› and ‹sh› are regular, but the /ee/ sound at the end of both words is spelled ‹e›. The longer word “chicken” has two syllables and can be remembered as “chick” and “en” for spelling. It helps the students remember the spelling if they emphasize the /e/ sound in the second syllable, so it rhymes with “pen.”

Grammar 3 – Sentences
Objective: Develop the students’ understanding of sentences.
Alphabet p oster (Grammar 1 Big Book) Write up ex amples Grammar S heet 3 (Alphabet w riting card, p204)
Introduction: Help the students practice saying the alphabet. Use an alphabet poster, or the alphabet in the Grammar 1 Big Book. Once they know it really well they will not need to look. Point to, or hold up, letters (both capital and lower-case) and ask for their names and/or sounds. Ask which letter comes after the one being shown. The students find it easier to name this letter than the one which comes before. This is a good activity for any spare moments.
Main point: Explain that simply having a capital letter at the beginning of a line of writing, and a period at the end, does not make a sentence. The words in between must make sense too. (This is a very simple working definition of a sentence that young students can understand. As they gain in understanding it can be added to and refined.) Look at some incorrect sentences with the students. Examples:
the frog is green The cat ran up the.
Ask why each line of writing is not a proper sentence. Correct them with the class.
Grammar Sheet 3: The students read each line of text and decide whether it is a proper sentence. If they think it is correct, they copy the sentence underneath. If not they write the sentence correctly underneath.
Extension activity: The students practice writing the alphabet using the Alphabet Writing Card on page 204.
Finishing the lesson: Go over the sheet, with the class deciding if the sentences are correct. If they are not, ask the students why not and do the corrections with them.

The Grammar 1 Handbook is a comprehensive resource for teaching grammar, spelling, and punctuation The Grammar 1 Handbook is designed to follow The Phonics Handbook. It provides extensive reproducible material and a wealth of practical advice for teaching students in their second school year. The Grammar 1 Handbook is intended to: • • • • • •
introduce the basic elements of grammar, teach spelling systematically, develop dictionary skills, improve vocabulary and comprehension, reinforce the teaching in The Phonics Handbook, and extend the students’ phonic knowledge.
As part of the Jolly Phonics program, the teaching is multisensory, active, and progresses at a challenging pace. It places emphasis on consolidating the students’ learning and helping them to apply their skills. Each part of speech is taught with its own action and color. The actions enliven the teaching and make the learning easier. The colors, which are useful for identifying parts of speech in sentences, match those used by Montessori Schools. Like The Phonics Handbook, The Grammar 1 Handbook provides all the essential teaching ideas. It can either be used alone or with the valuable support of the Grammar 1 Big Book. The program continues in the third school year with The Grammar 2 Handbook. This second edition introduces the use of the letter ‹y› for the sound /ee/ at the end of words like “happy” and “story.” This spelling feature is also introduced in the Jolly Phonics Yellow Readers (Level 2). The pages are slightly wider than 81/2" x 11" so that copies can be made without showing the binding. The reproducible material uses Sassoon Sans, a typeface without joining tails. This material is recommended by Cambridge International Examinations to support the Cambridge Primary English curriculum framework.
The Grammar 1 Handbook is part of the Jolly Phonics program. Outstanding results are achieved with Jolly Phonics around the world.
