When my son was in second grade, I discovered some living grammar books at my local library. As a first grader he was introduced to grammatical terms through Mad Libs which was very much enjoyed. These books were an excellent tool that allowed me to further introduce him to grammar in a visually-pleasing way. The fun books are full of colorful pictures and interesting text. I find that living books tend make subjects more interesting and fun.
I’ve separated out the different books into the topics. If you click on a book it will take you to Amazon where you can find the isbn, author, and any other necessary information you need to find the book at your local library.
