Help your child learn one of the most dreaded subjects in school: grammar. This series of 13 books clarifies the intricacies of grammar in a clear and concise way for your elementary-aged child through colorful graphics, emphasized grammar words, and clear definitions.

In order to develop linguistic and expressive skills in children, there need to be a variety of exercises to engage the child and help nurture the required skills.

The books contain pictured exercises on writing and composition; children can sort words in sentences or write about picture stories, they can fill in the blanks with the suitable words, or they can rearrange sentences to make paragraphs. Exercises are arranged in three stages over three different books, all with colorful images to attract children.

This three-book series contains varied and progressive exercises to teach guided- and free-composition, as well as functional writing so students can communicate with others in their daily lives. Some of the writing exercises the series focused on:

• Arranging words to make sentences
• Arranging sentences to write a story

• Filling in forms and applications with appropriate information
• Writing paragraphs and using punctuation marks
• Writing memos for personal correspondence
• Editing speeches
