For most language arts teachers, grammar is the core of good writing and reading skills. Sadly, it's not news. In fact, Constance Weaver who authored this book provides a more clear look in helping our students developing grammar skills. First, you can't teach grammar in isolation anyway. It just doesn't work! You should teach and introduce students to literature that is fresh, exciting, and will get more kids reading regardless. We all have to develop our grammar skills even as writers. Students should not have to worry so much about all the terminology. It can be done in doses as Weaver proposes perhaps ten minutes a lesson rather spending the first month or two teaching. This book is a great and useful tool for language arts teachers who will teach grammar or improve students writing skills. All writers regardless of experience need to revise anyway. This book is a lot less threatening, calm, and resourceful without going overboard.

Yeah, it's a good book, but one of the other teachers stole mine right out of the copy room. Oh, wait. Did I say copy room? Strike that. The book was never in the copy room. Repeat: never in the copy room.
