A teacher's best friend

This book is a wonderful help to any teacher of writing. It is extremely versatile and can be used equally effectively in a whole class situation or with small groups. Its best feature is its usefulness for individualized instruction so that the teacher does not have to use precious class time for the writing and grammar problems of a few students. A student who has problems with commas can work on the appropriate activities on an individual basis. The activities themselves are extremely well done. They are fun for the students and, at the same time, effective in producing correct writing techniques.
