Publisher's Description of Writing Sentences: How to Write Sentences People Love to Read! Set (Book & Workbook)

Full of interesting illustrations, this book introduces students to grammar in a friendly and easy-to-understand way. It covers basic parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, article), simple sentence structure, and basic punctuation with an emphasis on writing.

With the accompanying learning guide and workbook, students will increase their ability to write sentences people love to read!

The workbook provides many activities to help a student practice the grammar and writing skills being learned from the main text.



The writing curriculum offered by Heron Press emphasizes a self-paced mastery approach to learning grammar and composition. While not a heavy writing or grammar course, it seems to be very well-designed. The straightforward way the materials are presented alongside the course learning guides should permit most students to complete the program on their own. The publisher also has a Public Speaking Course (#035125) that compliments the series. Most sets include a student text, workbook, learning guide, exams and exam guides, and a materials list. While most of the learning guides are printed simply on plain paper and stapled in the corner, they really do seem to be the hub of the curriculum, essentially serving as a lesson plan.

These books and materials are secular in focus and philosophy. The publisher is associated with L. Ron Hubbard, but we didn't see any overt evidence of religious content. This is a well-designed series, with an emphasis on simplicity and focusing on the message.
