5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I have ever read for learning correct English, September 5, 1998

This review is from: Step By Step Guide to Correct English (Paperback)

Excellent learning/teaching tool. Great for teachers or students. Set up in a workbook format. Good as a "refresher" course as well.

This review is from: Step by Step Guide Correct Eng (Paperback)

Having taught English to people from aged 3 to 93, this book is a great tool. The step-by-step guide allows students to work at their own pace, as well as with a tutor or without. The 16 chapters break down language into appropriate segments such as Subjects and Predicates, More about Nouns, Pronouns, More about Verbs, Types of Sentences, 3 sections on puncutuation, as well as other grammar "must-knows."

What's the bonus? There is a chapter on letter writing that covers a friendly letter vs. a business letter vs. a job application. This chapter served my adult students in a huge capacity to allow them to see how English was used in each style.

Also, there is an answer key at the back so students could test themselves throughout the chapters and then check out answers as a self-guided test.

Overall, this has beena brilliant teaching tool for me and has aided students more independence in becoming proficient English speakers.
