The English Grammar Workbook for Grades 6, 7, and 8: 125+ Simple Exercises to Improve Grammar, Punctuation, and Word Usage

I follow this author on Teacher Pay Teachers. She is well versed in her skills. I do think the book would be better if it had a companion book that was a workbook where the pages were laid out for student use in larger font. A traditional workbook would have pages that students could tear out and turn in. This would make this book a lot easier to use! I do love the book, but I will have to make up additional worksheets for my students because my school does not provide additional funds for books like this and I need something I can hand out. Content is great, but needs to be more practical.

It's my go-to book for tutoring students. Moss covers all the essential topics in an engaging and practical way. Students learn essential grammar for writing without getting bogged down in the minute details.

Thick paged book. Came in good condition. It is very small typed, so for a kid who doesn't like to sit and read this may be a hard book to get them to focus on. Each lesson is one page of explanation and then one page of practice work. For the price I think it is worth it. I will personally just make sure that my child does this in smaller increments. Ill leave a further detailed review after a couple weeks of use.

Very useful

Niece is challenged in using this book to build her English grammar. We are getting good results on her using this book to study grammar.

Excellent book. Recommended for its simplicity.

Learning how to read and write where it is a well-written document is critical to getting ahead in this world today regardless if you are 6 years old or 60 years old. Starting with the basics is a must and this book give you lots of practice doing this in small short lessons, even having online access to more practice lessons. Great way to learn even if English is your second language.

In hopes of strengthening my writing, I decided to start out “easy” by purchasing a grammar workbook for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I plowed in like a spoon in a bowl of Hudsonville Seaside Carmel Ice Cream. Nouns went okay. Before the first lesson, I remembered there were proper nouns and not-proper nouns but not too much else. Compound nouns seemed fairly basic. But who knew “ice cream” is a compound noun but “cookie dough” is likely not? A little complicated if you ask me. But I did learn a secret. If you want to ditch the adjective, just stick a hyphen between words and voila, it automatically becomes a two-word compound noun. “Cookie-dough” with the hyphen is suddenly a compounder. Although Word Grammar Check discourages willy-nilly hyphens, just ignore the blue line or click on the “Don’t check for this issue” option. The grip of the spoon got a little sticky with the second lesson-pronouns. I knew “you,” “we,” “they,” etc. But I was a little shaky on the recall with “everyone,” “either,” and “some.” But did you know there are eight kinds of pronouns- personal, reflexive, intensive, demonstrative, relative, interrogative, and indefinite- both singular and plural? Ugh! Bored myself just typing those and no, it was not from memory. I began to think “Who cares?” and “Do I really need to know this? Can’t I just write with bad grammar and blame it on the way I talk?” But I completed all the exercises albeit with a lot less gusto. On the first of two tests on nouns and pronouns, I missed six out of 28 – C+. I got a C+ on 6th grade level material! Egad! I got 100% on the next test because I made it a completely untimed, open-book-test. (Bonus- three-word compound noun.) No positive recommendations for this workbook, as I hold the author somewhat accountable for my frosty comprehension. I even questioned if her answer key was completely accurate. And was the workbook truly grade appropriate? Sixth graders not only have to learn the names of eight kinds of pronouns but the meaning of each with examples? Bless their middle-school hearts! All respect due to kids who are required to learn that yawn content! But then they have absorbent, fluffy brains and mine is riddled with cholesterol. (Maybe from too much ice cream.) Before I tackle verbs and prepositions and predicates and punctuation, maybe I ought to ratchet back a little. Maybe all I need is 3rd grade grammar, 5th grade tops.

Not enough questions on each page. This not worth the money, not even close. Probably why no full page spreads were displayed in the add for the book. Pass.

Correspond a mes attentes- Fonctionne parfaitement!

Covers a good amount of grammar and I like the amount of work per day but it has no explanations if you have further questions or don't know why the answer is what it is.

Le livre semble bien mais a mis beaucoup de temps à venir

The book is okay, but like all grammar books, it's a bit dry and boring at times. I'm using this to teach my kids, but this doesn't work well as a workbook where I can just give it to them and have them work on their own. I need to sit beside them and explain things. There are some more advance examples in here, which is nice.
