About the book
Harness the power of language as a key tool for learning in every classroom with the third edition of Grammar and Meaning!

As students advance from Foundation to Year 6, the language demands intensify, making this book an indispensable resource for addressing literacy challenges and enhancing learning across all areas of the curriculum.
This edition of Grammar and Meaning dives deep into the Language, Literature, and Literacy strands of the Australian Curriculum: English, showing you how to interweave these components seamlessly. By using metalanguage as a \"toolkit,\" it empowers students to systematically explore and discuss how language creates meaning, while also examining the forms and structures that convey those meanings.
Packed with grammar summaries, engaging exercises, and reflective activities, this book provides a comprehensive guide to grammar, focusing on its application in whole texts. It’s divided into two sections—Foundation–Year 3 and Years 4–6—ensuring a tailored approach to language patterns that are appropriate for each developmental stage. With targeted learning activities and classroom notes, Grammar and Meaning helps teachers build a deeper understanding of language use and provides actionable strategies to integrate language, literacy, and literature in the classroom.
This powerful resource builds on the knowledge shared in Beverly Derewianka’s A New Grammar Companion for Teachers (3rd Edition), making these two texts the perfect pair: one a detailed reference and the other an interactive workbook to bring grammar instruction to life. Whether you’re teaching the fundamentals or refining advanced skills, Grammar and Meaning is your essential guide to fostering language mastery in your students.
