Fourteen grammatical structures are developed as writing tools in an accessible, understandable, and similar manner through the sentence-composing approach. For each structure students will: ● learn a clear definition of its characteristics and function ● practice it through five guided sentence-composing activities ● deepen their understanding through an independent creative writing activity ● vary the tools through multiplying and combining them. Students and teachers will quickly discover how powerful the sentence-composing approach can be for learning grammar—and for raising students’ writing abilities to new, exciting levels.

Unlike traditional grammar books that emphasize sentence analysis, this worktext asks students to imitate the sentence styles of professional writers, making the sentence composing process enjoyable and challenging. Killgallon teaches subliminally, nontechnically—the ways real writers compose their sentences, the ways students subsequently intuit within their own writing. Designed to produce sentence maturity and variety, the worktext offers extensive practice in four sentence-manipulating techniques: sentence unscrambling, sentence imitating, sentence combining, and sentence expanding.
