Just ridiculous...,
By
This review is from: Improse: Activities That Promote Creativity, Gooder Grammer and Better: Pun!Ctua?Tion:-) (Paperback)
...40 pages of essentially blank pages...each page has some sentences with punctuation already provided and a few "guide" words...the student has to fill in the blanks to make a reasonable sentence...maybe a useful approach but nothing you couldn't easily do yourself.
