Usborne Guide to Better English : Grammar@@ Spelling and Punctuation

Wonderful

Purposeful

I teach English as a second language in France as well as providing English Learning Support services to children in need of additional help. I have used this book repeatedly with my kids in grades 3 through 5 and I love it. I find it provides interesting texts and clear and concise examples of rules. I use it regularly as a supplement to my curriculum. As the 'facilitator' if you are unsure of the correct response you won't be disappointed as all the correct answers are located in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants some additional practice in these areas and I concur with the publisher's assessment of its appropriateness for language learning levels of 9-12 years of age. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Very happy with my pruchase. I received the product earlier than expected.

Great book. Arrived promptly and was in excellent condition. Very pleased.

Excellent book, well put together and easy to use. Age range is probably all primary school years but with help from parents for 5-7 year olds.This book will remind (or correct) parents knowledge of English grammer, sorry, grammar, spelling and punctuation. I never knew spelling was so difficult!Small points which I disagree with are, for example, the use of double speech marks with only a passing reference to the fact that some people use single speech marks instead. I thought that the general usage was now single as opposed to double. Still, if you don't agree with what's been said (and that will, I think, be very rarely) then you can correct it yourself before passing it to your child to use as a reference (also check with the school as to their preferred way).All in all, good value and one of the best on the market dealing with this age range.

Really, REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK. Ordered for my Grandson. So well laid out, loads n loads of information. Also, quality of book, including cover strength, colour, is great. Easy to read, lots of great examples. Surprised at the amount of information packed into book for its size. Thinking of ordering copy for myself to brush up on grammar, spelling and punctuation skills which I loved learning at school - now well into 60's. so will be an easy way to refresh my own knowledge. Arrived very quickly and packaged well. Extremely happy with this purchase. Thank you.

Just bought the 8th, 9th and 10th copies of this superb book to take to friends and colleagues in Namibia. One is for a primary teacher as she will find it useful in her teaching of children for whom English is not their first language but for whom it's the country's official language. Others are for friends with children who need help with the complexities of English, especially grammar and spelling.My purchases of the first 7 copies have been spread over a number of years and given to friends' children and relatives around the world and also used by me when teaching adult literacy.

I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter so that she could have a user friendly reference guide for grammar and spelling.I find the book clear, it includes learning tips plus it is very colourful which makes it appealing and relevant to year 4-6 students. It shows one how to structure a sentence properly and gives examples of commonly misused words for example "lend" and "borrow".Additionally, it is a useful aid when doing homework, my daughter refers to it frequently.
