Makes English grammar funSeptember 7, 2005 27 out of 28 found this review helpful
A revision guide which makes English grammar fun.
I'm a big fan of the CGP study guide series, and the KS 2 English Study Book is no exception. Our 10 year-old has worked her way through it with enthusiasm. The colourful, well-designed pages and humour make the book a surprisingly enjoyable read.
Although this book is aimed at English schoolchildren, I should have thought its comprehensive and comprehensible sections on grammar and usage (eg "When to start a new paragraph"; "Writing a formal letter") would be useful background reading for any student of the English language.
A compact yet thorough and fun revision aid!May 20, 2001 99 out of 101 found this review helpful
This book is clear and concise yet covers all the things a child needs to know for the subject at hand. I have just used this book as a revision aid with my 9 year old for Creative Writing and Comprehension. It is fun - children like the language used - and full of valuable helping points. I have been a teacher myself for 16 years - these books are excellent summaries! Can't remember the difference between a simile and a metaphor or what a compound sentence is? This will tell you! I can also highly recommend "The Tricky Bits" - more on grammar.
