Gem’s English Grammar 8

Gem’s English Grammar is a series of eight books for young learners. It is adapted from back to basics, a set of books published by Blake Education for the Australian Curriculum.

Gem’s English Gramma has a syncretic approach to language teaching, combining communicative and structural methods. This will appeal to schools across Boards and meet the needs of different curricula. The series will enable learners to imbibe and apply the rules of English grammar, and also appreciate contemporary language usage.
