Product Description:
This STUDY SMART reference guide series, designed for students from junior high school through lifelong learning programs, teaches skills for research and note-taking, presents strategies for test-taking and studying, provides exercises to improve spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, and reveals secrets for putting these skills together in great essays. The Grammar Crammer is a concise, sensible grammar handbook that explains lucidly how to remember correct word forms and sentence structures. Useful as a reference tool for high school and beyond, it packs an entire grammar encyclopedia into just over a hundred pages. This is a cram course on grammar that can be read-and understood-in just a few hours. It discusses lucidly-even pleasurably-nouns, pronouns, verbs, modifiers, conjunctions and prepositions, punctuation, and sentences-including eight clues that ensure sentences will work properly.
Checkup quizzes follow each section; answers are given at the end of the book.
Summary: Short, but Sweet
Rating: 4
This handy book full of correct and incorrect usages shows you "how to." It is quick and easy to use. It will, however, not come up with all the answers you need. My biggest disappointment was to note that although it was printed in 2003, it appears not to be an update from the original 1982 edition. Still, it is ahead of most of us.
Summary: Great Book
Rating: 5
A little better than Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" which I have been using for years (and still use). Like "Elements" the GRAMMAR CRAMMER is only about 100 pages, but I find answers I don't get in "Elements", and the index is much better. The type size is larger also. For the price, it is well worth it.
