The English Grammar Workbook for Grades 6, 7, and 8: 125+ Simple Exercises to Improve Grammar, Punctuation, and Word Usage (English Grammar Workbooks)

It's my go-to book for tutoring students. Moss covers all the essential topics in an engaging and practical way. Students learn essential grammar for writing without getting bogged down in the minute details.

Learning how to read and write where it is a well-written document is critical to getting ahead in this world today regardless if you are 6 years old or 60 years old.Starting with the basics is a must and this book give you lots of practice doing this in small short lessons, even having online access to more practice lessons. Great way to learn even if English is your second language.

This product includes a lesson on inclusive pronouns. For those who support that, you will be glad to know. For those who don’t support that, you will also be glad to know.

The books are exactly what I have been looking for!

Use for reviews and supplement. I would buy again. I used it on 6-7th grade.

I’ve been using this to supplement grammar practice for my middle schooler for the past two years. We just look up whichever grammar concept he’s studying at school, and use the practice pages in the book for extra practice and test prep. It seems to have everything he’s covered in 6th and 7th grade so far.

Great book. Each section has clear and concise explanationS. I’ll echo what others have said in their reviews and say that there aren’t many practice exercises for each new topic; however, I use this as my main teaching material and I supplement with other materials to master the learning objective. Compared with other materials I have purchased, there are very few mistakes in this book (saw another complaint about the mistakes in this book). I started using this with my 6th grader and liked it so much that I also purchased it for my 5th grade child. At this grade level, they still need a lot of repetition which this book doesn’t provide but there’s plenty of other books to supplement. For a 7th or 8th grade child, you won’t need supplemental material.

In hopes of strengthening my writing, I decided to start out “easy” by purchasing a grammar workbook for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I plowed in like a spoon in a bowl of Hudsonville Seaside Carmel Ice Cream.Nouns went okay. Before the first lesson, I remembered there were proper nouns and not-proper nouns but not too much else. Compound nouns seemed fairly basic. But who knew “ice cream” is a compound noun but “cookie dough” is likely not? A little complicated if you ask me. But I did learn a secret. If you want to ditch the adjective, just stick a hyphen between words and voila, it automatically becomes a two-word compound noun. “Cookie-dough” with the hyphen is suddenly a compounder. Although Word Grammar Check discourages willy-nilly hyphens, just ignore the blue line or click on the “Don’t check for this issue” option.The grip of the spoon got a little sticky with the second lesson-pronouns. I knew “you,” “we,” “they,” etc. But I was a little shaky on the recall with “everyone,” “either,” and “some.” But did you know there are eight kinds of pronouns- personal, reflexive, intensive, demonstrative, relative, interrogative, and indefinite- both singular and plural? Ugh! Bored myself just typing those and no, it was not from memory. I began to think “Who cares?” and “Do I really need to know this? Can’t I just write with bad grammar and blame it on the way I talk?” But I completed all the exercises albeit with a lot less gusto.On the first of two tests on nouns and pronouns, I missed six out of 28 – C+. I got a C+ on 6th grade level material! Egad! I got 100% on the next test because I made it a completely untimed, open-book-test. (Bonus- three-word compound noun.)No positive recommendations for this workbook, as I hold the author somewhat accountable for my frosty comprehension. I even questioned if her answer key was completely accurate. And was the workbook truly grade appropriate? Sixth graders not only have to learn the names of eight kinds of pronouns but the meaning of each with examples? Bless their middle-school hearts! All respect due to kids who are required to learn that yawn content! But then they have absorbent, fluffy brains and mine is riddled with cholesterol. (Maybe from too much ice cream.)Before I tackle verbs and prepositions and predicates and punctuation, maybe I ought to ratchet back a little. Maybe all I need is 3rd grade grammar, 5th grade tops.
