Synopsis
This book is a conveniently-sized grammar text, an excellent resource for all writers and an excellent text for English grammar classes as well as ESL classes in every country, including China and Africa.
This little book is a re-worked
and edited version of a textbook originally published in 1945
which condensed several decades of teaching experience in
presenting English grammar instructions to students from grade 7
to college, into an accessible format.
This little book contains more teaching experience per
square inch of page than any other English grammar text you can
think of.
This little book represents the collective output of an
entire community school system (Fort Wayne Community Schools),
the inputs and classroom results from scores of teachers over
many years, all working toward the best grammar teaching resource
available.
This little book was my favourite grammar book in school,
and I made the huge mistake of letting someone "borrow" it in
1971, to my perpetual regret.
The study sentences in the Exercise Book are carefully selected
so that the grammar feature presently being studied is the only
new construction. Later on in the Exercise Book, the study
sentences are quotes from great American literature.
All this work, for your study, enjoyment and future
reference!
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
-
Do your grads leave high school empty-handed?
Why is that?
They should be carrying a copy of this little grammar guide, they
would refer to it often in their journey through life.
What are they going to do next after leaving school - write a job
resumé?
While all their previous English texts are left behind at
school?
This little book has very low printing cost so will not be a
burden on your education finances. It is in a persistent
file format (print on paper!) that will not be obsoleted by
technology changes or by electromagnetic pulse.
Further description of the book is found in
the Foreword and the
To the
Teacher pages.
Page size of the Exercise Book is 3-ring binder size of 21.25 x
27.5cm, 3-hole punch.
For classroom work, you might order a main book less exercises
per seat and one Exercise Book per student.
The beauty of this little book, besides it's unrivaled pedagogy,
is it's extremely low printing cost, which makes it an excellent
choice for low-income countries around the world.
