Customer Reviews

Great Book for Teachers and Students!

If you've ever had a problem defining preposition, or needed a way to explain ellipses, then you should buy this book. I teach an English class for refugee children, and this book has proved an invaluable teaching tool. My kids find the explanations clear, while I grin when I see higher scores on my grammar quizs. And for a textbook, this is CHEAP! I highly recomend this book. I myself used in in middle school, refered to it in high school, cleared up obscure grammar points with it in college, and now laud it as a teaching tool. You will not be sorry you purchased this book!

Write Source 2000

This book is outstanding. I teach seventh grade English, history, and a variety of other subjects, and have found Write Source 2000 to be an invaluable tool. It is clear, concise, and written in an age-appropriate style; yet at the same time it is marvelously comprehensive in its content. Consider this: it covers spelling rules; punctuation; grammar, including a lucid definitions of the different tenses; it explains paragraph structure; and it contains the complete texts of the U.S. Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, Susan B. Anthony's "Women's Right to Vote" speech, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" oration, and as other significant historical documents. These are but a few of its offerings. My class and I refer to Write Source 2000 at least once or twice a week, no matter what we are studying. Although the book is written for middle school students, it is so clear and comprehensive that I often recommend it to my friends who teach college. It deserves every one of its five stars.

Best source to help get over that awful writers block

I have used this book for 9 months and it provides a comprehensive guide to any form of writing. As an adult I have used this book as a source to help prepare materials for colleagues who are undertaking training in wrting skills. Highly recommended.

Helpful - A great resource - Fun to read

Even though this book is geared towards children, it was a great resource when I was student teaching in a sixth grade language arts class. You won't be sorry if you buy this one!
