Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great help
This book helped me with my classes. It's been great to find a book with such good games and ideas to make students understand grammar without bored classes. Excelent way of learning! Fun and interesting.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Endlessly useful

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wow- implicit grammar instruction that's cool!
This book was recommended to me by a professsor who had used it with her Middle School ESL kids. After having it a week, I have to say it is fabulous. I had been looking for ways to teach grammar to my junior high kids, without tedious explanations of grammatical rules, worksheets or diagramming. The day after I received it, I was able to start the kids on a game where they could internalize grammatical rules, and demonstrate what they already understood about the deep structure of English.
