Gruff's Grammar

Grammar is tough to learn but if you learn it through a story it becomes interesting and easier.

This video shows how I introduced Gruff's Grammar (Kidnapped) to the class in a way that could grab their attention.

Below you will find the two Gruff's Grammar workbooks, resources, lesson plans and assessments to help teach each book.
