This review is from: Graded Exercises in English, New Edition (Paperback)

The reviewd book has been in use for over 20 years. Does time make it useless, old fashion? Not at all. As a grammar support book, combined with texts and other material provides the ESL student with the necessary grammatical topics for him/her achieve grammatical proficiency.

This review is from: Graded Exercises in English (Dixson English series) (Paperback)

This book has become an indispensible resource for me. One of the huge challenges of being an ESL teacher is to figure out how to explain more or less logically what native speakers know intuitively. I am often stymied by grammar exercises in workbooks that are not properly explained, have too few examples, or the vocabulary in the examples is too difficult. Dixson avoids all these problems. This book is also great when you feel a quick review of a basic point is needed, or just for a quick quiz. What ESL student doesn't need to periodically review irregular verbs? You'll use it over and over once you buy it, guaranteed!

I like the unintimidating format for my students: a very simple grammar explanation followed by enough exercises to reinforce the point, all neatly lined-up on one page. I have used these exercises to supplement those in the texts I was using, but I thing next year I'll try this book all alone.
