The About Grammar series is a product of many ‘firsts’. It is:
– the first grammar series developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
– the first series based on the English Language Syllabus 2010.
– the first to teach grammar explicitly using an approach where meaning is emphasised.

About Grammar does not just list grammar rules or merely explain grammar concepts. It provides examples of grammar in everyday use, and more importantly, it provides explanations for how grammar actually affects language. For example, pupils do not just learn a list of verbs and verb forms. Instead they will learn how using different forms of verbs can affect meaning.

The series aims to create an understanding that language works in a systematic manner, and then to develop in pupils the ability to apply this understanding in their writing and speech.
