Grammar Comics! is the fun and easy way to help students grasp the basics of grammar and usage. For many kids, grammar is a difficult subject, one that is not particularly interesting, perhaps a bit difficult, and not immediately useful. "A sneaky way to get students to learn. Thank you! They love it! 4 stars for quality, accuracy, practicality, thoroughness, creativity, and clarity." Alex Hernandez All program components are digital downloads (no print books).

Additionally, the eBook provides 64 full page color cartoons on key grammar and usage concepts and rules.
