The Grammar Workbook: A Systematic and Logical Approach to Writing

(Pages reproducible for use in the classroom.)

Teachers and parents - search no more! Author Anne Joyce, with over two decades of teaching experience in a middle school language arts classroom, has put together a comprehensive and sensible resource geared toward writing improvement. Joyce approaches grammar instruction in a no-nonsense way. No sentence diagramming. No introduction of complex terms. She focuses on the basics - how sentences are strung together, specifically the larger parts of sentences - and asserts that once students can recognize complete thoughts, incomplete thoughts, and the words that join them together, they are well on their way to improving their writing craft.

Each page of this workbook explains a grammar concept or rule, provides examples, and offers practice exercises. And to make it easier on teachers, because they already have enough on their plates, an answer key is provided for all student activities. There is a logical order to the layout of this book; each lesson builds upon the previous one, so moving through them in order is recommended.

This workbook is suitable for middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults. Lessons cover verbs, subjects, simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, comma usage, capitalization, semi-colons, hyphens, and more.
