THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE REAL AUNT TERESA

Don't be fooled by pretty pictures and a plethora of pedagogy - this is the real deal if you want to teach English skills - from vocabulary through mini-essay assignments, and all the simple, useful grammar explanations and exercises in between. The Least You Should Know About English Form A (6th Edition) can't be beat - certainly not by Form A 7th Edition, which is an overblown, expensive imitation of those giant workbooks we all know and hate. Glazer's own intelligence, acerbic wit, style, and simple desire to help students shine through every word of instruction, every exercise in FORM A EDITION SIX, but are sadly compromised as she collaborates with another author in FORM A EDITION SEVEN. Get the real deal; don't settle for an imitation.

The Most You Need to Know About English

After being tracked into honors English in high school and upper level English in college, I knew nothing about writing a correct sentence. During a career change, I was assigned to edit technical manuals. I could no longer limp along on my poor grammar skills. This book was assigned to me in conjunction with a community college class in English. Wow! This book made so clear all those sentence diagrams. I could write a sentence with a sense of confidence in my grammar skills. I am purchasing this book for my son, who is just entering Middle School, to give him the confidence in writing I lacked for so many years.
