Another useful book for students to look at when considering teaching grammar.
This book is good for aspiring teachers, it also served as a good refresher for new undergraduate students on the courses whose first language is not English.
This book takes an in depth look at the historical perspective influencing the development of grammar in the English language.The 'commentary' sections of the book are a great asset to busy teachers in the classroom but have not adopted it for this course as I was looking for a simpler guide for students on this professional studies course. However this is a great resource for the less confident teacher of grammar in the primary school.
This book will support student teachers both in clarifying key areas of grammar subject knowledge from the National Curriculum for English and support them as they seek to identify engaging and contextualised teaching approaches to support children's writing.
This is a great book, very easy to read with great ideas for teaching.

The teaching of grammar becomes meaningful and effective when contextualised in purposeful activity that empowers children, providing comprehension, choice and control as readers and writers. Horton and Bingle make a clear case for this approach, providing accessible subject knowledge support and imaginative exemplar lessons.

Good structure. Very practical but with some theoretical underpinnings.
This is clear step by step for each year group of how to teach grammar but also helps secure the teachers subject knowledge.
very useful indeed
This is a useful text which gives lots of practical ideas. The layout is appealing to the reader and there are some good links to other texts and to children's literature.
I realyy enjoyed this boook and will be recommending it to our students.
The layout is excellent with links to the Teachers' standards, activities and quotes making it an easy read and very informative!
Mnay beginning primary teachers lack the confidence of terminology and the grammatical accuracy necessary for teaching early writers, this book will help provide confidence and competence in their teaching practice.
This book clearly illustrates the need for the teaching of grammar in primary schools - it has supported my teaching in this important area
