for a family member after purchasing Basher Science: Chemistry: Getting a Big Reaction
and enjoying the presentation and format of the material.While this book is in the same series it had a different author, so I was interested to see if it would be as strong as the first book I picked up. While a different writer, the series continues to be one I am pleased with and I would like to find the additional English focused titles.
The book divides punctuation into categories and gives each of the marks a personality that will help children remember the identity and purpose of each type of punctuation. This is an interesting approach to teaching what can be a dry subject. The illustrations and humor is a creative approach to getting children engaged in learning and may actually lead to children remembering what they have learned.
I would suggest this as a great addition to a family or classroom library. It is a handy book to review those often forgotten punctuation rules.
Even kids books are good for people like me who forget the basics no matter how long they have been doing it!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check that out. My son is currently learning about punctuation. I agree with Chrystal that those types are good for us adults too, who tend to forget the basics!
