My high school freshman tutee is lacking in basic English writing skills. He needs to improve, and his parents and I hope that this book will help him. He is very shy and rarely asks any questions. I am afraid that his natural intelligence will fail him because he is not ambitious about his studies. He does well in school; however, his parents and I are very concerned about the sincerity and seriousness of his teachers.
I bought one of Basher's book at a book fair at my kiddies' school and have been buying since. My kids LOVE these books! The explanation is easy to understand and Basher makes it fun for my kids. My son especially loves looking at the pictures. They are 9 and 11 and when the new book came, they almost fought for it. They take the books to school and share with the class and their classmates love them too. I am donating the set to the school library.
I bought this book for myself (I am 26) as I wanted to improve my grammar but wanted a precise explanation and not long winded pages worth in adult books. This book is very easy to understand and gives you examples, pictures, and very clear and easy to understand definitions. I would recoment this for kids but also adults wishing to improve their grammar.
Who knew punctuation could be so much fun? My daughter LOVES Simon Basher's books, and immediately began gleefully looking for and identifying punctuation marks whenever they occurred, explaining in detail just what they did. From Hyphen to Colon to the lowly period, she considers them good friends. I'd love to see Simon Basher attack grammar next!
Love this books. I purchase many of Simon basher books. I carry them every where especially in the car for my kids to read. bought extra to give to a reading and writing teacher in my son elementary. she told me that the kids love the books especially the posters
Overall I think it's a good book, however, I think my 6 yr old is not ready yet. He did enjoy the book and wanted me to read it to him every night. He has yet to grasp the concepts. I think we will revisit the book when he's a little older.
As I said in a review of another Basher book, my son hasn't yet found a title in this series that he doesn't love!! These books are quirky and informative, a lot of fun but still incredibly educational. If it tells you anything, we're on our second copy of "Punctuation" as the first one is now worn out!!
I read parts of this book to my class of middle school English language learners. It helps them relate to the punctuation in a more concrete way. Plus, this book is really entertaining! It spices up a dry grammar lesson every time.
