 Introduction

This is the first in a series of classroom materials that presents English grammar in context. The system in
India expects rigorous coverage of grammatical points. In this series of books, pupils are given opportunities
not just to complete grammar exercises, but also to recognize grammar patterns in use. At the end of each
book in the series, they are given the opportunity to use new grammatical structures and vocabulary in
their own writing.

Children at this point in their school lives have had some learning of English. It is important to reinforce
this early learning with further knowledge of grammar. That requires clear presentation and practice of
the rules of the language. Each unit in this series of books starts with a clear explanation of grammar
terms followed by examples which show the grammar in context. To give the maximum opportunity for
pupils to use and practise the grammar that is being taught, examples and explanations are followed
by a variety of exercises which allow the children to show they can recognize the grammar point. Each
exercise features an example so that teachers can present the materials then encourage the children to
work through the exercises independently. The exercises give the grammar a context which makes it
meaningful for the child, rather than exercises which merely ask children to recognise the new feature of
language or part of speech. The exercises in each chapter also introduce and recycle vocabulary as well
as grammar points extending the children’s ability to understand grammatically correct English, so they
have the opportunity to use it.

Throughout the book, grammatical terms and vocabulary are revised and recycled so that children can
consolidate their learning and teachers can ensure that children are progressing in their learning of the language.

Four revision sections in the book can help teachers track the progress of their pupils and allow pupils to
consolidate what they have learned. These revision units also help children to prepare for test situations
which they will encounter later in their school lives.

At the end of the book, there is an extensive section that allows the children to use what they have learned
in a variety of reading comprehension exercises and writing activities. In level 6, these writing activities
include advertisement writing, picture writing, letter writing, dialogue writing and article writing. As in
previous levels, there are model texts to guide pupils in their own writing. The reading comprehension
activities based on fiction and non-fiction texts help to develop the pupils’ reading skills. These short texts
also show the grammar in context, where it has meaning.

After using this grammar book, Indian children will understand more grammar and will also recognize
where this grammar is used in everyday English. This will promote fluency and language acquisition which
is the purpose of learning English.

We hope you enjoy using this Grammar Path to English.
