Sadlier Grammar for Writing is a comprehensive,
composition-focused grammar program for grades 6-12 that teaches students how grammar, usage,
and mechanics directly support effective writing. Rather than treating grammar
as isolated rules, the course shows students how mastering grammar improves their
ability to communicate clearly and powerfully.
The program begins with a thorough review of the writing
process, paragraph and essay development, sentence structure, and different
forms of writing. It then provides in-depth instruction in grammar, usage, and
mechanics, with a strong emphasis on editing, proofreading, and revision
skills. Students learn to evaluate and improve their own writing as well as
give helpful feedback to others.

Each level is organized into four main parts:
- Composition:
