Summary: The Least you NEED to know about English
Review: As an English teacher, I often find it difficult attaining grammar books that are accessable to all students. The Least You Should Know About English provides comprehensive lessons that students can understand, and also gives a wealth of exercises. The book deals with all grammar errors-fragments, usage, parallel structure, shifts in time, apostrophe-as well as proofreading exercies. For times you struggle with the correct answer, an answer key is provided. I found this book ideal in my high school classroom, since so many students lack the grammar background needed to be successful in writing.

Review: I was introduced to this text a number of years ago when teaching in a community college in California. Every other English textbook I have seen since has dissatisfied me. Glazier's text can be used for classroom teaching or for self-paced instruction and can be adapted for any level from middle school through college. My students have commented after the first few lessons, "Wow -- nobody ever taught it to me this way!" Whether your student is advanced or needs extra help, this text can provide it all. I'll never use anything else for teaching grammar and mechanics. Denise Stickel
