This grammar and punctuation book has been a game changer. It’s simple to explain, basically self-explanatory, and my kids enjoy doing it. If your child struggles, you need to get this—highly recommend!” Review: Excellent Grammar Instruction - I use the Skill Sharpeners Grammar series every year as part of our homeschooling curriculum. I started using it when I realized my kids were learning grammar but not how to talk about grammar. This series is great for instilling that vocabulary.
