Book excerpt: Standards Based Grammar Grades 7-8 is a daily grammar program that covers all grammar and punctuation skills required by eighth grade (based on national standards). The assessments and teacher checklists allow the teachers to keep track of the skills their students have mastered, allowing them to review and reteach as needed until mastery of the fifty standards is achieved. What is considered mastery? When a student not only knows the rules of grammar and punctuation, but is also using these skills within the context of their writing, they have truly mastered the skill. This unique program shows students how to memorize the skills, then requires them to immediately apply them within the context of writing. Over one hundred journal assignments help students achieve a level of master few other programs can achieve. Best of all, it's powerful enough to use as a daily program, yet affordable enough to purchase as a supplement.
