The Grammar 4 Student Book teaches grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The Grammar 4 Student Book is designed specifically for use with the Grammar 4 Teacher’s Book. Together, they follow on from the Grammar 1, 2, and 3 Student and Teacher’s Books and provide the next year of grammar, spelling, and punctuation teaching. The spelling lessons in the Grammar 4 Student Book not only teach many new spelling patterns, but also extend the students’ knowledge of multisyllabic words. Regular activities ensure that the students are not only able to spell these words correctly, but also understand the words’ meanings and use them in context. In the grammar lessons, the students continue to refine and expand upon their existing knowledge: for example, by learning about concrete, abstract, and possessive nouns. The students are also introduced to many new concepts, including grammatical agreement. In addition, the students build upon their knowledge of sentence structure by learning about independent clauses. All of this knowledge helps the students to bring clarity to their writing.
