I have used this book in my standard and Montessori-based classrooms for five years and could not do without it. It is by far the most creative, most fun and most memorable way to teach parts of speech while simultaneously utilizing creative and technical writing skills. I have used this book with grades four through ten, modifying assignments as needed, and had great success. The students enjoy it and so do I.
The book is organized by parts of speech. There are brief, informative lessons, and short answer and short essay questions, all of which are off-beat and fun. This is a book that can be used by a teacher as a resource or as a consumable by a class. I recommend it highly.

This book gives good activities for spare time, but i wouldn't use it for primary instruction. It is basically a lot like all the other so called "fun" grammar exercises you've ever seen.

I'm not as enthusiastic about this book as the others who left ratings. It doesn't cover the topics I am focusing on this year. It's a bit advanced for my seventh graders.

I love reading and writing, but teaching grammar to eighth graders is just not much fun! This book is an excellant resource. The students enjoy the silly sentences and prompts given to them. The explanations are easy to follow. By eighth grade this shouldn't be new material for them. I've enjoyed using this book to refresh their memories with some of the basic concepts in grammar.

If you are a teacher struggling to make grammar interesting and relevant to your students, while also trying to follow an established curriculum (and not work yourself to death in the process) do not hesitate to buy this book! I am a first-year teacher struggling to find a compromise between how I have to teach and how I know I should be teaching--and this book is it! While it appears to be simply a book full of grammar worksheets ('yippie' shouts the administration), it really is a back door to teaching grammar in the context of writing ('woo hoo' exclaims the English teacher). Each exercise is intended to teach concrete grammar rules and skills as well as to apply these new skills to the writing process. It is a collection of the excellent, creative kinds of activities I would come up with myself--if only I had the time!
