Junior Cycle Grammar Pack - 20 Weeks of Mini-Lessons, Workbook + Test + Answer Key

Perfect for 1st–3rd Year | Classroom-Ready | No Prep Needed

This is a complete Junior Cycle grammar programme designed for students who need repeated, accessible practice with core grammar skills. The bundle includes a 20-week Grammar Workbook, a Final Grammar Test, and a full Teacher Answer Key with clear rubrics for quick marking.

Every page is designed to be completed in 5–10 minutes, making this ideal for lesson starters, literacy routines, learning support, or homework.
The layout is clean, colourful, and intentionally student-friendly - especially for weaker writers, reluctant readers, and students who struggle with the basics.

With phone use rising and reading declining, I’ve found I need to revisit these skills with all year groups - so this pack gives you a consistent, week-by-week routine that keeps grammar simple and manageable.
