The Grammar Handbook 2 is designed to follow The Phonics Handbook and The Grammar Handbook 1. It is intended to:
• Introduce new elements of grammar
• Teach new spelling patterns systematically
• Develop dictionary and thesaurus skills
• Improve vocabulary and comprehension
• Reinforce the teaching in The Grammar Handbook 1

The teaching is multisensory and active. It places emphasis on consolidating the children's learning and helping them to apply their skills. Each part of speech is taught with its own action and colour. The actions enliven the teaching, and make the learning easier. The colours, which are useful for identifying parts of speech in sentences, match those used by Montessori Schools. The Grammar Handbooks 1 and 2 provide all the essential teaching ideas, and can be used alone, or with the valuable support of the Jolly Grammar Big Books 1 and 2.
