Grammar Ladder

Each grade has one student book and 35 fifty-minute sessions a year. Lessons build from sentences, nouns and verbs in Grade 1 to clauses, voice, mood and modifiers in Grade 6.

Student book pages

Each lesson is a run of teaching pages followed by numbered exercises in the grade's student book.

Interactive practice

Every book exercise becomes an activity, and each item is marked on its own: tap, choose, label, sort, match, fill in, rewrite and open writing.

Hints, then explanations

Pupils get three attempts. A hint appears after a wrong answer, then an explanation, and every exercise links back to its page in the book.

Listen and read aloud

Questions come with a Listen button and a read-aloud switch that plays a pre-recorded teacher voice.

No typing for young learners

In Grades 1 to 3, fill-ins become a tap-a-word bank and word-order tasks become tap-to-order tiles.

A lesson check

A short, automatically marked check closes every lesson and feeds the class reports.

One guide per lesson of the book, each planned in 50-minute sessions (35 sessions a book), with objectives, key points, a timed plan, common mistakes, differentiation, homework, and a full answer key.

• The big idea, objectives and key vocabulary in plain language.
• A timed plan for each session: warm-up, review, teaching, guided practice, games, practice, writing, assessment and wrap-up.
• What the teacher does and what students do at every step.
• Common mistakes, with how to fix them.
• Support and extension ideas for different learners.
• An exit ticket, homework and a tip for parents.
• A full answer key for the lesson's exercises.
• Printable, for use in class.

• A lesson check for every one of the 131 lessons.
• A start-of-year check, a mid-year test and an end-of-year test for every grade.
• Teachers can also build their own quizzes from the published exercises.
• Results show each pupil's score, time taken and results by skill, for every pupil and the whole class.

• Mastery by skill and by pupil, from Not Started through Beginning, Developing and Approaching Mastery to Mastered, with a review flag when a skill needs refreshing.
• “My grammar map” shows every pupil the skills they have mastered.
• “Recommended for you” suggests each pupil's next step with a plain reason, and “Personal review” builds a short set from their weaker skills.
• Open writing is checked against the exercise's own rules, and a grammar and spelling checker gives hints without giving the answer. The teacher gives the final mark.

• Class dashboards with a skill matrix, flagged pupils and instructional groups for support and extension.
• Assign practice to a class, a group or individual pupils, and set reading with due dates.
• Insights by grade: who needs support, who is ready for extension, year-on-year comparison and CSV export.
• Reading reports that show which pupils are reading each day.
• Accounts for teachers, coordinators and administrators, with multi-school views and printable login cards.

All six books as page-turning flipbooks, with page thumbnails, go-to-page and a “Practice this page” link that jumps straight to that page's exercises.

Books can be saved for offline reading on the device. Practice and assessments need an internet connection.
