Ratings and reviews

I love Jessie Wise's grammar books! I use it to teach my 4th grade class and the results have been great so far. At first I had mixed feelings regarding the book, but after using it for a year in my classroom, I found it to be easy to use and effective for my students. Strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to teach grammar effectively and actually be successful.
