Along with Crystal and Branwen and Bingle, this is my go to book for grammar pedagogy and teaching ideas. Useful and closely linked to practice in schools. Grammar in context is vital for lifelong learning and love of language.

A great read for all primary school teachers. Not very in-depth, but an excellent overview.

Fantastic reference book. Perfect for those trainee teachers (like myself) who need to refresh their knowledge on SPAG.
Definitely worth the £18.
