You really do want to buy this book. Of all the writing handbooks I have, it is the one that is most interesting and most helpful. Countless lightbulbs have gone off in my mind as I've read its explanations. I strongly feel that it deserves yet another 5-star rating. I wish I had owned it during my first year of college (or even during high school). Regarding the negative post: I read it in its entirety, and with respect to its author, all I could do was chuckle and shake my head because I strongly disagree with the opinion as well as the arguments presented.
This book is the required text for a 300-level Rhetoric & Grammar course taught at Arizona State University.
This book gives you great knowledge of grammer techniques. it also provieds the answers for the exercises in the back to make sure you have learned and have the correct answer. It is a great book.
This text coherently articulates a systematic approach to integrating the teaching of grammar, from word to discourse, with the teaching of writing and rhetoric. I am just entering the secondary school teaching profession. I have an educational, personal, and professional (7 years in publishing) background in literature and writing, but I am just a beginner in linguistics and grammar (however you wish to define it).

Rhetorical Grammar, by Martha Kolln, is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to improve their English grammar. Each chapter brings valuable information to the reader, with exercises placed throughout, and answers to the odd numbered questions in the back. This handbook is easy to understand and has ideas that are easy to grasp. I'd definitely recommend it for teachers and students alike! SIMILAR ITEMS: |
