This series includes the major areas of grammar: correct usage, mechanics, and dictionary skills. Each chapter incorporates a grammar concept with one of the following writing genres: personal narratives, friendly letters, how-to writing, descriptions, book reports, and research reports. For purposes of instruction, the grammar skills are often taught in isolation, but they should not be considered separate and distinct from one another.

Grammar, correct usage, mechanics, and spelling are taught primarily to enhance the students oral and written expression. Becoming proficient in language is a process. As students mature, their knowledge and use of the language should mature as well.
