Grammar Conventions is an established, market-leading series of pupil workbooks and teacher resource books covering Years 1-6. The aim of Grammar Conventions is to provide students with colourful, engaging and achievable activities that seamlessly fulfil rigorous English curriculum requirements.
Grammar Conventions Teacher Books with Games are designed to assist busy educators with the implementation of a structured, syllabus-specific grammar program. The resources discuss, inform, instruct and extend the learning presented in the student workbooks.
An extensive number of graphics has been used to assist in the easier understanding of many concepts. As new concepts are introduced teachers are given specific teaching points upon which they can focus their students' attention. The chief authors of Grammar Conventions are John Walters, a school principal, and Lauren O'Brien, teacher. In addition to these fine authors Harry O'Brien, Bill Spence, Greg Purcell, Graham Roberts and Fiona Wrigley have consulted on this series.
To maintain an economical price for teacher resources, the physical Teachers’ Books are printed in black and white, with some beautiful full-colour games inserted.
Schools that purchase class sets of the student books can access free yearly online resources for that class or grade, including instructional videos and the full-colour online teachers’ books.
