I like this series of books...

...but it's a bit difficult to explain why...ostensibly, these combine logic and writing to form a progressive series of lessons...from the publisher's website: Analysis and logic to improve the ways students receive and convey information. Thinking and reasoning skills necessary for critical reading. Grammar and usage skills required for clear communication. Skills essential for developing complete, effective sentences and for writing strong paragraphs. ...although it may sound strange, what I like in particular is the amount of thought that often must be used to understand the instructions for each exercise...the exercises are not all that difficult but getting a handle on exactly what the author wants for a particular exercise often takes quit a bit of deciphering and particular attention to details...so it makes for good practice in understanding and following instructions...and the exercises themselves provide instruction in basic grammar and reading...the series covers around grade 2-3 through high school...
