Ruth Heller's World of Language Books

Wonderful books. Your children will gain a deep understanding of the English language. The illustrations are wonderful and the dry subject of grammar comes alive. There will be no more fretting about grammar after reading these books. Enjoy!

Fun way to review verbs.

This book is a fun way to introduce or review verbs in the classroom or at home. The fun rhyming text and intresting illustrations make this book fun to read aloud. Great book for children of all ages.

Picturesque Grammar for all ages

Most students are visual learners and when it comes to opening the eyes and minds of students to the study of grammar (parts of speech), Ruth Heller's books are the key to this learning style. My high school students beg to see the pictures, pass around the books, show that picture again! After show and tell, they also learn and in a fun way. I have shared Heller's books with colleagues at workshops and at school. We have enjoyed seeing students actually like this skill they often dread so very much. The colors and drawings capture the eye and the information floats painlessly into the student's brain. These books are "a good thing."
