This is the part of a new series of from Lawler Education to support teachers of literacy. This important area of teaching and learning is one that often causes teachers, particularly less experienced teachers stress in organising positive learning experiences for students. That is why this set of books are an important contribution to supporting teachers. Made up of a set of lesson plans and worksheets that can be used with students, this book will develop understanding through word level and sentence level work. This book covers: • the formation of nouns using suffixes like -ness, -er and by compounding eg superman, whiteboard. • the formation of adjectives using suffixes such as -ful, -less. • the use of suffixes, -er, est in adjectives (e.g. faster, fastest) and the use of -ly to turn adjectives into adverbs such as bad and badly, slow and slowly, careful. • subordination, using when, if, that because and co-ordination using or and but. • expanding noun phrases for description and specification eg the blue butterfly, self-raising flour, the big tractor. • how grammatical patterns in a sentence indicate its function as a statement, question, exclamation or command. It will obviously be of interest to colleagues in primary schools but it will also be of interest to colleagues of adults with basic skills needs working at entry level and level 1. The material is presented in a mature manner that will not threaten their self esteem.
