What This Book Teaches

The instructions in Sentence Diagramming build step by step and connect logically to enable you to easily see how the information is connected, providing you with a framework in which to learn new information.

This workbook shows you how to use diagrams to solve specific grammar or punctuation problems. This approach is analogous to describing how to solve a math problem and then giving an example of a real-life problem that can be solved using your newly acquired skill.

Because this workbook begins at the beginning and covers the basics, it can be used effectively as a classroom text, a tutoring tool, or a refresher for college writing courses, as well as for individuals who want to be able to edit their own writing.
