Using Grammar and Punctuation

Reneé B. Meloche is an instructional consultant with the Halton Board
of Education.

The Working with Words series is designed to teach children how to use
parts of speech and punctuation. Each guide in the series includes
teaching ideas to help early- to middle-elementary students understand
grammar usage; learning activities, such as skill inventories for
spelling, grammar, and punctuation and extension ideas; a useful
glossary; and worksheets. The activities are based on a premise of
constant reinforcement according to a planned and structured approach to
instruction; the variety of exercises for independent practice and
review are clear, understandable, and easy to follow.

These guides would serve as good, supplemental resources in an English
language arts program.
