Grammar and Punctuation Workbook 1
Grammar and Punctuation Workbook 1 is the first-year practice book for English grammar and punctuation: the workbook where young writers learn what a sentence is, how it begins and ends, and the first word-jobs of the language.
Every confident writer starts here — with the discovery that writing is speech made visible, and that a few simple rules make it readable. Workbook 1 teaches those rules the only way six-year-olds learn anything: briefly, brightly, and then again in practice, until the capital letter and the full stop arrive without being asked.
It is made for first-year primary students (roughly ages 5–7), their English teachers, and parents building the first writing habits at home.
The first workbook of the series starts at the true beginning: what a sentence is. Units build the sentence from its furniture — a capital letter to open, words in order, a full stop to close — then meet the first citizens of grammar: naming words (nouns), doing words (verbs), and the little describing words that make writing interesting. Punctuation in year 1 is kept to the marks that matter most: capital letters (for names and for ‘I’ as well as sentence starts), full stops, and the first wondering question marks — each taught with examples a new reader can decode alone. The exercises follow the series’ gentle ladder: trace and copy first, then choose and complete, then the small triumph of writing a sentence entirely your own, with picture prompts doing the inspiring. Nothing here is abstract for long: every point is practised in the child’s own world of family, pets, school and play. For teachers, Workbook 1 is the year’s sentence foundations sequenced and ready — whole-class teaching in the box, independent practice on the page; for parents, it is the ideal first grammar book to share, short enough for a bedtime page and structured enough to build real habits.

About This Book
This is a first-year English grammar and punctuation workbook: what a sentence is, capital letters and full stops, first question marks, and naming/doing/describing words — taught in tiny units with copy, complete and create exercises.
What Students Will Practise
The Sentence Itself
What makes a sentence — words in order, a capital to begin and a full stop to end — practised until it is simply how writing is done.
First Word-Jobs
Naming words, doing words and describing words: the child’s first grammar vocabulary, met inside their own sentences.
Marks That Matter
Capital letters (including names and ‘I’), full stops, and first question marks — punctuation as kindness to the reader.
Key Features
The true-beginning design is the feature — nothing is assumed, everything is built. The exercise ladder is the second: copy, complete, create. The picture-prompt writing is the third: grammar that ends, even in year 1, in the child’s own sentences.
Who This Book Is For
It is for first-year primary students (about 5–7), English teachers laying sentence foundations, and parents starting grammar gently at home.
How to Use This Book
Little and often wins at this age — one short unit beats a weekly marathon. Say sentences aloud before writing them; the ear teaches the eye. Praise the marks as much as the words: a full stop noticed is a reader respected.
