I'm teaching 2 elementary kids (10 years Korean age I believe). One of them has good speaking/pronunciation but needs a lot of grammar work. The other one is at a low level all the way around. I need a good grammar book for this age and for their low/intermediate level.

Does anyone know of any good books to recommend? Or any specific bookstores I should check out? I looked around at "What The Book" but didn't find anything suitable.

Thanks!

I'll give you the usual reply. Kyobo has an entire section dealing with Grammar, speaking, and writing. They have a huge selection and if you don't find what you need you can walk North a few blocks and you can find English plus.

So are you talking about a specific Kyobo bookstore? Or can you "walk north a few blocks and find English plus" at every location? Laughing
Seriously though, I don't know where any close Kyobos are to me. I just moved to Sadang, and someone said there was one here, but I've never seen it.

Kids are digital, why keep throwing them "analogue" dog food.?
'
I''d suggest a tailored program of online learning. So much out there, start exploring. They'll be motivated and using voice/dialogue, whole language.

Boooooooooooks are not Books. Meaning, the world is changing under our feet and pedagogically, we have to think outside the box and get these kids really clicking on all cylinders - not some dry text.

I'll even go further. Those teachers who are teaching very small groups of students, are doing them a disservice if they don't enact and direct them towards online learning. They are keeping the cows in the barn. they may continue to give some milk but nothing as wonderful as if they were roaming and munching in the wild green yonder. .....

The Up and Away in English series (Oxford Press) is grammar focused for that age group. You could probably start with book 2 or 3. If they are strong readers, you could look at Exploring English book 1.

The one I'm speaking about is located 3-4 blocks west of City hall in downtown Seoul.

I just started using a good book called My First Grammar published by eFuture. It's a Korean company, but it's still pretty good. There are three books, and then the next series is called My Next Grammar. They work pretty well and have lots of practice.
