To THE TEACHER My First Grammar is a fun and easy grammar book series designed for young English learners. The grammar concepts and activities in this series are designed for the needs of elementary school students from the second to fourth grade. My First Grammar uses a spiral approach in presenting essential grammar points. This allows students to study from any book in the series without missing important grammar points. My First Grammar provides various learnercentered activities that encourage active learning. My First Grammar’s main concern is nurturing a feeling of success while students learn grammar. By providing age-appropriate grammar structures, sentences and activities, this grammar series helps students maintain the feeling of success and interest. Constant linking and cumulative reviews ensure that students reuse the grammar concepts and retain them.
Organization of the Student Book Link and Review at the beginning of each lesson can be used as a cumulative review or a tool for assessment. In each lesson, teachers can use this section to monitor students’ language development and identify areas of weakness in need of review. Look and Learn sections introduce new grammar concepts in a fun, easy, and uncluttered manner. They offer a resource for students to refer to while practicing the grammar concepts that are newly introduced. These sections also provide a concise grammar summary that can be revisited in later lessons for review. Look and Say activities allow students a step-by-step approach to using the grammar in context. These activities provide illustrations and examples of how the target grammar is used. Teachers can rely on these activities to ease students into a feeling of comfort in learning the grammar. Look and Practice activities provide a variety of methods for students to use and practice the material they are learning. They are designed to give students a sense of understanding and success in mastering English. Some activities allow students an open ended response giving them greater control over their personal learning experience. Furthermore, colorful illustrations and real photos aid students to use their visualization in learning process. Interactive games or entertaining comics are provided in Lesson 4 of Units 1, 2, 4 and 5 and Lesson 3 of Units 3 and 6. These additional activities are used to wrap up the units. Students will consolidate the English grammar concepts taught in each unit, while enjoying the activities. Progress Tests are provided in Lesson 4 of unit 3 and Lesson 4 of unit 6. These tests are to be used to assess students’ development.
