Grammar and Punctuation with Practical Exercises

When your child talks and opens their mouth to speak, they use grammar without even realizing it. They speak about what they did yesterday and what they will do tomorrow; they talk about one friend, two friends, or their brother's friend; they talk about the exciting book, more exciting filmes they've ever seen.

When they talk about all these things, they are using grammar. This program will teach them how to understand the different kinds of words in English, how they fit together to create different meanings, and how to use punctuation correctly when they write.

Best of all, it will help your child have fun with language and become confident using it to choose the best words and the best kinds of sentences for what they want to say or write.

So, let's get started!
