This comprehensive book provides 40 units filled with lessons and practices. Each of the 40 units is divided into 4 sections:
Parts of Speech – Students learn to recognize parts of speech through writing and analysis.

Diagramming – Teaches students the structure of language and the relationships among words, phrases, and clauses, while building on what was taught in the previous sections.
Proofreading – Teaches students to examine their work carefully for errors. This section also provides practice in recognizing and eliminating slang, cliches, redundancies, and wordiness.
