Getting Ready: Language Skills 2B: Practice in English Grammar and Vocabulary

This series of four workbooks provides written activities for young learners who are studying English as a foreign language. The activities aim to reinforce children’s understanding of the essential topics and concepts of grammar that they need to know.
