Summary: A Good Grammar Review
Review: I am very pleased with this workbook style, English grammar book. I am using this for my students in the lower grades of high school (9th and 10th grades) for a supplemental review of grammar. The format is easy to read and use, with the material and the questions spaced so that information is not overwhelming for a student. The answers for the workpages are in the back of the book, instead of at the end of the chapter, as in other supplemental grammar books. It is easy to remove the answer section until time to grade the work. I think this would be an excellent book for homeschoolers.

Summary: Easy but not Condescending
Review: We used this as the primary text in my college grammar class, and the teacher used it as a supplement to lectures. He would assign the reading so we grasped the concepts, and then would elaborate and show us how to use it in everyday life. I must say I enjoyed using this book. It was easy reading without being condescending and as grammar is not usually a favorite subject, this book helps make the process as painless as possible.
