Titles By Linda Davis Kyle
If you long to write but need some help to get started, then please keep reading.
Upon being informed that “half of the incoming freshmen at our business schools, who, of course, are all college graduates are now being required to take a basic course in writing because they cannot write a presentable letter or report or proposal,” David McCullough, twice Pulitzer Prize winner and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, called that "a serious national problem."
McCullough believes, “If you can educate someone to be able to express themselves on paper or on their feet, then you have given them something that will be of infinite value not just to themselves but to the whole society ... for the rest of their lives.”
When too many dry rules are dumped on you, especially without their reasons being defined, you can feel overwhelmed. When all you hear from those around you are discouraging words, your incentive, your dream to write, your motivation, and your inspiration simply evaporate.
Finding a useful, but fun, way to refresh your memory of grammar and writing basics and discovering the nine facets of writing you can control empower you to get started straightaway.
Taking the task step by step builds your ability. You can rise above the criticism and the overwhelm. Continually being encouraged keeps you keeping on, for a change. Being infused with a “Never give up attitude” helps you grow as a writer and you appreciate the value of your writing. Recognizing that writing can be your best friend when everyone else has forsaken you is empowering. Defining the Eight Parts of Speech and reviewing their roles and relationships, the colorful mind maps bring English to life. Seeing, feeling, and knowing the benefits and profits A to Z from writing well define good reasons to polish your writing skills.
With your Getting Ready to Write: Reviewing English Grammar e-book, you will —
★ Plan for Your Successful Writing

Even if all other systems before have failed to meet your needs, this e-book will keep you encouraged and on task. It will help you believe in yourself. Writing is hard work. Make no mistake. But if you learn the ropes, then you can do it. If you take your writing seriously and practice, practice, practice, then you can write. When you access the powerful guardrails of English grammar—the parts of speech, their definitions, and their cooperative roles—and control your use of capitalizations, punctuation, contractions, and spell with attention, you can write with passion about topics you love. Go for it. You can do it!
Getting Ready to Write: Reviewing English Grammar also serves as a treasure chest of supplemental ideas for educators, writing coaches, homeschoolers, parents, grandparents, adoptive parents, foster parents, and mentors to add to their own lesson plans. They can put what this book offers to good and positive use as they champion pre-teen, teen, and beyond teen beginning writers at home, online, or in class.
