English Grammar and spelling books

Hi, It's the time of the year when parents are looking out for their kids. It's the exam season in most parts of the world also. I had been scouring the web looking for good grammar links and books.

The good old days of "Wren and Martin" are over now and I just could not seem to find a good book.
I came upon a book by Wren by it was just filled with exercises.

Finally I have got some of the best grammar practise books with instructions, that parents might want to download. Its from Mc Millan publishers and you can access it at:

http://www.mhschool.com/reading/treasure_workbooks/national.html

The grammar books starts off very methodically from the basics. All the mechanics of a particular grammar topic are covered. It has lots of exercises and kids will really get the hang of it.
( But maybe if your kid is in grade 4, you might need to see the grade 3 book.)

The link contains spelling practise books also.
Hope you find the great books as good starters and they work out as worksheets too.

In news: The school was allocated land and the remaining nearby land was being used as a playground. But the BDA gave clearance for a petrol station. The BDA's stance being the school constructed fully buildings in the land allotted to it and did not make space for a playground.

(Hope someone can highlight if the school has lost its ground and whether a petrol bunk is nearby.)
