Her approach begins with a new approach to locating verbs by using the time change method, explains the 7 jobs of a comma and takes on the dreaded and often confused homophones. The book is short, only 175 pages, not including the answer key. Each chapter introduces the subject and then includes exercises for the student to complete to demonstrate understanding. I have shared her method with my son who is taking English 1101 at the State College of Florida this semester in hopes to help him excel in this class.

This book is very good for all students grades 8-college, and is one I will be keeping in my homeschool library. This book could be used as a homeschooling text, a reference book or a remedial tool for those needing extra help in the area of grammar.

Each week you input that week’s spelling list and then your child can study his spelling words even when you aren’t available to dictate the words to them. We used it this week for our Bible class. My boys had to know the books of the Bible in order and be able to spell them correctly. I input they words, it just took a few minutes to set up, and then they used SpellQuizzer to practice the words. It worked great!
