DD1 is in year 1 and absolutely loves school. In particular, she loves learning new 'big important words' as she calls them. Until now I have been happy to help her to find onomatopoeia words in her books or come up with lists of adjectives to add to her stories but today she was reading her new Supertato book and asked whether meanwhile is a timeline adverb. It made me realise that my grammar is rubbish and it won't be long before I can't answer her questions. I can write fairly well (now I'm waiting for the teachers out there to point out all the mistakes in my post ), but I don't know any of the terminology etc that kids learn now. Either we didn't learn it in the eighties or I've forgotten it all.
I'd like to find a book/website I can use to familiarise myself with the grammar my DDs will be learning in primary so I can support her at home. I have found some books aimed at adults but I was hoping to find something that is aimed at KS1/2 to give me an idea of how it is taught. I've found some workbooks but nothing that lists what they need to know with some simple explanations for children. I don't want to teach her anything, her class teacher is amazing and I'll leave it up to her, but I'd like to be able to answer her questions at least.
TIA
