This convenience package puts together the hardcover Diagramming Dictionary with the paperback diagramming practice book. Use the workbook to diagram selected sentences and aim for stronger, more effective answers. The workbook serves as a practice book and does not include any teaching. Use the dictionary to review, check your work, and go deeper in your skills. Add this convenience package to any diagramming program, but it will also work with the four levels of the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind series.
