Reviews

"Not only does this book address three grade levels, it addresses the needs of teachers, parents, and students alike. It provides a solid foundation for teachers, a no-nonsense format for parents, and an easy-to-understand writing style for students. There is a clear forward movement to the lessons, each building on previous knowledge and acting as a springboard for future concepts. This book is a treasure trove of ideas that will enrich students for the rest of their lives." --Michael Gravois, MEd in Early Childhood Literacy, author of 21 Scholastic Teaching Resources

"Grammar rules can be tricky, and at times they can be so challenging! In this book, Shelly's expertise jumps off each page in clear language and well-organized chapters. She has created an easy to follow layout and has written in a way that students and adults alike can easily grasp the challenging concepts of the English language. I haven't found another book on the market that captures the attempt to master these fundamental concepts of language and grammar in a way that this book does. Clear communication in written language is essential, and this book lays the groundwork!" --Kim Miller, content creator and curriculum developer at A Love of Teaching
