About the Book
Grammar instruction is hard to find in schools these days, but this totally new approach results in immediate writing success. Every chapter immediately progresses from the grammar lesson, to applying the new skills to that night's writing assignment. This great writing course values grammar and brings it back to life for the 21st century.Book Synopsis
Book 2 of The Stewart Writing Program fills the huge gap in today's standard curriculum: grammar. But it does so in a way that is logical, relevant, and fun. Yes, here the students will find the parts of speech, the phrases, and the clauses, but with the clear and rewarding outcome of application to the writing assignments they face every day. Here they learn how to achieve detail in their stories, organization in their essays, and (finally!) that elusive quality called "flow" in their style.
And as their writing becomes more sophisticated, we show them how to avoid the errors of agreement, usage, and punctuation. A pronoun in the wrong case, a verb that should be plural and not singular, a missing comma--all can tarnish an otherwise outstanding piece of writing. We take care of that.
Book 2 ends with a section called "Writing Patterns," (click Read a FREE excerpt, above), which previews the amazing system of sentence structure that forms the foundation of Book 3. Together the three books in the series answer the too-common question, "Why can't these kids write?" Here it is, with a lively presentation and proven results.
