Grammar and Writing

 

We apply the same methods that generate success in math & science to grammar and writing. We believe that practice with clearly defined objectives produces marked results.

In the real world, good writing is the product of three important principles:

  • Correct grammar

  • Clear, direct and concise sentences

  • Focused revision

 

Schools currently do not focus on these principles.  They rarely review grammar after the early grades. By assigning topics that don't engage students, schools encourage long, convoluted essays; students attempt to fill the page requirements, instead of learning good composition.  Further, once the student has completed the writing assignment, they are rarely required revise their work — which is a fundamental skill.
