Abstract
Wanguri Primary School in Darwin in the Northern Territory, is striving to continuously improve classroom teaching and learning, with emphasis on the ongoing improvement of literacy skills through effective teaching practices. Pam, as Assistant Principal, has a role to provide strong leadership in curriculum and pedagogy, and provide support for teachers. Pam teamed up with academic partner Linda Mahony from Charles Darwin University, to investigate early years teachers' practices (Preschool to Year 2) for effectively teaching grammar. Grammar is firmly embedded in the Australian Curriculum: English (ACARA, 2017) which requires students to demonstrate knowledge about language. The Australian Curriculum outlines specific features that are to be taught at each year level.
