Product Description:

Grammar glitches become springboards for targeted lessons! Includes ready-to-go mini-lessons and reproducible practice pages.




Rating: - Finally a grammar tool that makes sense!
I teach a basic composition class, and I've always struggled with ways to help the kids see the importance of proper grammar. With the ideas in this book, my students finally get it! Instead of boring reproducible worksheets, the students apply the grammar rules to their own writing.

Rating: - This book changed my thinking about grammar and teaching it!
This wonderful book definitely changed my way of thinking, all for the best reasons.

Rating: - Laura Robb has Done It Again! Rave Reviews for Grammer Lessons & Strategies
Robb has totally changed the way grammar is taught with this book. Instead of giving students worksheets that research and teaching experience clearly shows doesn't work, Robb shows teachers how to help students understand how strong verbs, specific nouns, and subordinating conjunctions can improve their writing. The key, though, is to have students revise THEIR writing using these excellent principles. Finally, something practical and thought-provoking that works!

Rating: - Not enough!
I was hoping to find a book that would aid me in teching grammar in my 6th grade classroom. Instead, I found a book that was not user friendly and did not offer many reproducible pages. Many of these lessons were not exciting and I did not feel that my students would have been excitied to learn about any of the concepts covered using the prescribed lessons. I was even bored reading it! This book is now collecting dust on my bookshelf.
