Laura Sunley
Scholastic, 2002
Hands on grammar!
I have many grammar activity books, but this is definitely the best! It includes many ideas for learning grammar in a way kids don't even realize they are learning because they are having so much fun doing them! For example, my students loved to make "animal prepositional poems". I had another teacher borrow the book, and she bought it herself! With this book you are teaching quality not ...

When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It: The Parts of Speech, for Better And/Or Worse 10 reviews
Ben Yagoda
Broadway, 2007
Parts of speech? Horrors! But clear and applicable in this book
I bought this book because I am ninety years old and had never been taught the parts of speech--and obviously did not have much time left if I were to learn them! This is far better written and presented than anything I have looked at before. I not only finished it it will stay with my dicionary at my side. Bill Weifenbach

Taeko Kamiya
Kodansha International, 2002
This is such an Eye Opener Book
I've been studying japanese for quite some time, and I wasn't even aware of how the japanese adjectives can conjugate just like verbs. I thought that the only conjugation's that adjectives possessed were the Plain/ Polite Past/Present, and negative/affirmative, as well as the -ba, -tari, -tara, and the -sa form. But turn's out that this is just part of the basic's. Just like with verbs the ...

A Is for Angry: An Animal and Adjective Alphabet9 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 1987
Alphabet and Vocabulary too.
This is another fun book from Boynton. Her silly animals illustrate an array of emotions, important vocabulary for growing children who need words to express their feelings. Preschool curriculum emphasizes the need for children to learn negotiation and conflict management. A lack of vocabulary to describe feelings often thwart these goals. This book is a wonderful and fun way to learn.

Brian P. Cleary
Millbrook Press, 2007
Great book for teaching grammar skills!!
I'm a second grade teacher and I have all of Brian Cleary's books. They are wonderful. They help students get a better understanding of the parts of speech by giving them real world examples in a fun way. My students love the silly pictures and the rhyming words. I'm usually asked to read these books again and again.

Schaum's Outline of English Grammar1 review
Eugene H. Ehrlich
McGraw-Hill, 2000
Not exactly what I expected but still really good.
As with other Schaum's outlines, this one has lots of exercises for students to practice with. I was confused because I thought this book and Schaum's "theory and probs of english grammar" were different. In fact, they are the same (basically), but this one is simply an earlier edition... Perhaps the earliest??

Visual German Adjectives & Adverbs (Language Express Cards) (Language Express Cards)1 review
Barry DeMillion & Yumiko Yoshitake
Language Express, 1997
An intelligent collection of opposites make learning easy.
By placing the opposites together on the visual cards, memorizing vocabulary is made easier. The humorous pictures make using them fun. Children seem to particularly enjoy and amuse themselves with these easy to carry along packets of German descriptive words. By focusing on adjectives and adverbs beginning speakers immediately expand their control of a language. My 12 year old son has been ...

Learn Japanese Verbs and Adjectives Using Memory Mnemonics6 reviews
Ryan McDonald
Trafford Publishing, 2006
Very Helpful!
This book really helped me to learn japanese verbs. They can be very tricky to understand, and keep them all straight. Using simple memory techniques, through some memorable, (and sometimes funny) sentences, this book helped to trigger the verbs. When I lived in Japan, I found myself constantly using these triggers to engage in simple conversation. (I am still at a beginner's level, but now I ...

Ideal for those who want to expand their vocabulary
All philologists - people who love literature and the english language - will find this to be a very interesting and useful book. It helps you learn new words and provides their etymology, pronunciation and several sentences. Unlike many other vocabulary books where your not quite sure how to use the words you learn; this book makes it a lot easier. I also recommend: "There's a word for it!" by ...
