About this ebook
Teaching grammar doesn't have to be dry, repetitive, or intimidating. It can be engaging, interactive, and even fun. This book gives teachers a solid foundation of 60 structured lessons, each with a clear plan and timing, designed to bring grammar to life—helping students use it, not just learn about it.
Each lesson provides a practical, hands-on approach to teaching grammar, ensuring students engage meaningfully with the material. The activities are built around real-world contexts, encouraging students to apply grammar naturally rather than treat it as an abstract set of rules. From writing recipes in the present simple to mapping treasure islands with countable nouns, these lessons make grammar tangible and relevant.
