Teachers notes The Macquarie dictionary defines: • grammar as ‘the features of a language (sounds, words, formation and arrangement of words, etc.) considered systematically as a whole, in particular referring to their mutual contrasts and relations’ • words as ‘the sounds or combination of sounds, or its written or printed representation, used in any language as the sign of a concept’. Learning about grammar and studying words helps students to better comprehend and use language when they are reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing. Students can use the ‘rules’ or features of grammar to make their own writing and speaking understood by others and to understand the writing and speaking of others. One major reference used during the writing of this series was the work of Professor George Stern, who was a member of the Systemic Functional Grammar Association, the Australian Linguistics Society and PEN International. Functional grammarians consider the way in which words are used within the context of a sentence; that is, they are more concerned with their FUNCTION in a particular context. In traditional grammar, the focus is more on defining the different parts of speech. The book has been organised into four main sections, covering a variety of aspects of grammar and word study: • Parts of speech • Understanding and choosing words • Punctuation • Figures of speech Groups of two pages within each section follow a similar format. Each student page is accompanied by a corresponding teachers page. Teachers notes pages R.I.C. Publications ® follows the guidelines for punctuation and grammar as recommended by the Style manual for authors, editors and printers, sixth edition, 2002. Note, however, that teachers should use their own guide if there is a conflict. The focus of each corresponding student page is given. A definition of each focus is given. For younger students, the definitions may be written in a more ‘child-friendly’ manner on the student page. For older students, the definition will be the same as that on the teachers page. One or two examples of the focus are also given. An explanation is given of the focus. This may also include the purpose for learning about the focus. The title of each section is given. A literacy character for each focus provides a visual identification of each focus on the students page. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy Ideas for further practice to support or extend the student activity on the worksheet are supplied. Where possible, the activities will include other key learning areas or other areas of English, such as speaking and listening. Any necessary information about how to use the worksheet with the students is also provided. Answers are provided for student pages where necessary.

Teachers notes Student activity pages A literacy character for each focus provides a visual identification of each focus on the student page. Further information about the literacy characters can be found on pages vi and vii. Interesting activities expect the students to use and practise the focus or to create examples of his/her own. Clear, concise instructions for completing the student activities are supplied. Activities on the student page require the students to identify the focus in context to see how and why it is used. Note: The student page activities give only a brief introduction to some of the concepts of grammar and word study included in this series of books. It is expected that teachers will use other resources and provide other activities to consolidate and extend students’ understanding of these concepts and to introduce other age-appropriate grammar and word study concepts. English Curriculum links The focus of each student page is given. For younger students, the focus may be written in a more ‘childfriendly’ manner. The focus is used in context in an appropriate text.

For older students, the definition will be the same as that on the teachers page. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy NSW Qld SA Vic.
