Overview

Book 2 of The Stewart Writing Program fills the huge gap in today's standard curriculum: grammar. But it does so in a way that is logical, relevant, and fun. Yes, here the students will find the parts of speech, the phrases, and the clauses, but with the clear and rewarding outcome of application to the writing assignments they face every day. Here they learn how to achieve detail in their stories, organization in their essays, and (finally!) that elusive quality called ""flow"" in their style. And as their writing becomes more sophisticated, we show them how to avoid the errors of agreement, usage, and punctuation. A pronoun in the wrong case, a verb that should be plural and not singular, a missing comma--all can tarnish an otherwise outstanding piece of writing. We take care of that. Book 2 ends with a section called ""Writing Patterns,"" (click Read a FREE excerpt, above), which previews the amazing system of sentence structure that forms the foundation of Book 3. Together the three books in the series answer the too-common question, ""Why can't these kids write?"" Here it is, with a lively presentation and proven results.

I will never have anything but good to say about the Stewart English Program. -- Peter Meents Headmaster Heritage Classical Study Center, Monroe, GA This was the most important course I took while in high school. -- Student name withheld
