This Grammar Workbook is a modern grammar text adapted from intermediate English grammar books written by Emerson and Bender. The original texts were designed to "meet the needs of intermediate grades in public and private schools." Because modern schools vary in the degree to which they teach grammar, some students will find this workbook easy, others challenging, and others just right.
This illustrated grammar workbook teaches middle school children the grammar concepts they need to know before proceeding to more advanced lessons.
The lessons are extremely well explained and are easy to understand, giving students the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in grammar.
