Grammar for Improving Writing and Reading in Secondary SchoolAuthor(s): Geoff Dean\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: David Fulton Publishers Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781843120032, 978-1843120032\nSynopsis\nThis practical book is chiefly intended to help English teachers tackle an area of the new English programme that causes anxiety and about which a large proportion are still uncertain: grammar. \n\nGrammar has been an uncertain classroom topic for many years; taught often as a duty, without real progression. In this book, the latest knowledge about grammar is treated as a central component of the meaning making process, in both reading and writing. Pupils can become better readers and write with greater confidence and control as a result of using this approach to grammar. Teachers of other subjects may also benefit from knowing how to integrate some grammatical teaching into the textual interactions of their lessons.
