About this title

Synopsis

This book is a foundational English language text for primary school pupils. It is notable for using a conversational style of language, with one section using a question-and-answer approach. It also uses themes and stories to teach important aspects of the English language, including grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. A strong emphasis is placed on the rules of the language, with sections on grammar and vocabulary occupying roughly half the book. The author draws upon many historical and literary touchstones in order to illustrate the main points, and includes several interesting tales to capture the attention and interest of the reader. Many of the stories are fables, which introduce moral and ethical concepts. The author does not shy away from more challenging concepts, such as the differing values of masculinity and how a man can simultaneously demonstrate strength while showing compassion, and supporting women and children. The book is ideal for teachers in a classroom setting, or as home study for ambitious students.
