I used Comic Strip Grammar with my 8th grade Language Arts class. I make a copy of each page on the overhead and we do the activities together. It's a great way to get them to understand the words and enjoy the visuals that go with the jokes. I really like having this book as a resource.

I used this while I was homeschooling a 3-4th grader and a 6-7th grader together. It was a great intro for the younger one and a good review for the older one. It was easy to read, easy to use and easy to grade, and I didn't have to fight with them to get them to do their worksheets. The joke level was perfect for the 3rd-4th and got groans from my older kid:)

The students I have are Special Education students but I think that the worksheets may be a little too young for my students who are 7th graders. Although I do think that it would be a good resource for teachers with younger students.
