Assessing Primary Literacy through Grammar Tests
Hodgson, John
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v59 n2 p189-190 2017
Originally an editorial for "English in Education," this short article summarises key issues in the imposition of a separate test for grammar, punctuation and spelling. It illustrates the poor foundations, lack of clarity and distortion of curriculum which invalidate the test.
