All My Gettings

While this may not be a sign of the impending apoclypse, it can't be a good thing. Who really needs a Gospel-centered grammar book anyways? And is it really doing any student, Latter-day Saint or no, any good to frame all U.S. in LDS commentary and belief? Also, note how overly religious the topic in that "American history" book are.

Liahona Grammar Series by Tracy Willburn, PhD.

This series of grammar books is very different from most approaches to teaching grammar. First, it uses a gospel context to invite the spirit and help students look at grammar in everyday situations with which they are familiar. Secondly, it believes that grammar is best taught by the study of good writing and then emulating those writing principles. Current research is showing that a writing-based grammar program is more effective in teaching students to write well than the present over-use of rote exercises found in most grammar texts.
