About the Book:

The Laxmi Learning Universe English Grammar series (Classes 6-8) is an essential component of the Laxmi English Learning Programme. Designed for CBSE-affiliated schools, this series follows the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) of NCERT, making it a comprehensive resource for students in middle school. The Learning Universe series offers a complete set of curriculum books that cover both scholastic and co-scholastic subjects at the primary level.

This grammar series is structured around the communicative approach to teaching English, ensuring that learning is lively, engaging, and active. It focuses on equipping students with the skills they need to use English effectively, accurately, and creatively in real-life situations.

At the end of the course, students are expected to develop the four key communication skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—while enhancing their knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation through practical application. The series follows a pre-defined assessment pattern aligned with specific learning outcomes for each unit.

The Laxmi Learning Universe English Grammar book consists of three sections:

1. Grammar and Vocabulary: In-depth coverage of grammar and vocabulary concepts, reinforced with ample practice exercises.

2. Comprehension: Aimed at honing students’ comprehension skills through reading, picture, and listening comprehensions.

3. Creative Writing: Encourages students to develop their creative writing skills, with guidelines and examples provided.

The Laxmi English Learning Programme also includes a coursebook, a workbook (an extension of the coursebook), a teacher guide (containing answer keys), a reader, and a companion CD for each grade.

The Learning Universe series is preceded by the Learning World pre-primary series and followed by the Learning Planet series for Classes 1-5.
