Grammar First is a differentiated programme designed to compliment Write First and Spelling First. This supplementary series of textbooks and teacher files for Years 7, 8 and 9 uses a "keep it simple" approach to enable both specialists and non-specialists to teach writing for their own subject. The texts examine model texts that illustrate rules, encouraging students to apply the grammar they learn and to consolidate it in their writing across all curriculum subjects. It develops grammar skills within a textual context targeting the Sentence Level Objectives of the Framework for Teaching English, with a cross-curricular emphasis. It builds on Primary NLS models by providing a complete supplementary course.
