Steps to Good Grammar

I do not know about you, but I did not get much instruction in grammar in school and it has been a frustration to me, not in speaking, but in writing. My husband on the other hand, had it in heavy doses, so he is always correcting my sentence structures. I purchased this book in hopes of better understanding sentence structure and I found it to be very helpful. Where was this book when I was in elementary school?

Excellent way to teach/review the basics.

This book has been the most efficient and straightforward way I've found to teach and reteach grammar to my students. I used a co-worker's so frequently that I broke down and bought my own!

Teach grammar? You gotta be kidding!?!?!?!?!

Even though the author states that this book mainly covers grammar from most seventh-grade English books, the four 8th grade Language Arts teachers at my school (myself included) have unofficially adopted this grammar book as part of our main curriculum (200+ eighth grade students). The teaching guides and reproducibles are very easy to follow. Each sentence part is explained in separate units in an analytical, systematic, repetitive, and cumulative method to ensure student understanding. I highly recommend this book!
