The Student Book provides both the weekly lessons and the space to complete them. Weekly lessons devoted to review (no new material) are peppered throughout the course but predominate in the last half. Appendices in the spiral-bound student book provide the complete story (a compilation of the daily sentences), various IEW resource pages, and a Grammar Glossary that serves as a reference tool.
IEW Fix It! Grammar: Level 4 Mowgli/Sher Khan Student Book
Description
Ingenious! Students hunt for and correct errors in daily passages that cumulatively tell a story. Fix It! Grammar™ is a six-year, incremental program that encourages students to apply new grammar knowledge in every lesson while continuing to practice what they already know.
Level 4 Mowgli and Shere Khan builds on concepts taught in previous levels and presents a thorough explanation of additional punctuation rules, essential/nonessential clauses, complex sentence patterns, transitional prepositional openers, and more.
Fix It! Grammar from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) is an incremental, story-based grammar and editing program that teaches students to identify and correct errors in daily passages that cumulatively tell an engaging story. This contextual approach helps students internalize grammar rules and apply them directly to their own writing rather than through isolated drills.
In the newly updated 4th Edition, students follow a consistent daily routine that combines grammar instruction, vocabulary, editing practice, and rewriting for mastery. The program is designed to complement IEW writing courses while also working well as a stand-alone grammar curriculum.
