Synopsis

The Butterfly Grammar has been written by Irina Tyk as the sequel and companion to The Butterfly Book. It takes children to the next stage, from being able to read fluently to being able to express themselves correctly both in writing and in speaking. The Butterfly Grammar sets out, in clear lessons that are designed for young learners, the rules that govern the way in which we form sentences. Parts of speech, tenses of verbs, punctuation and sentence structure are all dealt with in this child-friendly introduction to the rules of grammar. The rules are illustrated by means of short stories, including the further adventures of Ponti Panda.
