Making Grammar Interesting

I find it a common problem that teenagers have poor grammar, but find learning about it boring. Most grammar textbooks, even I admit, are pretty boring.  It can be really hard to get students to pay attention or put any effort into it.


There is, however, one book that I've had success with.  Eats, Shoots, & Leaves is a great book about grammar.  It's not a textbook.  It's an entertaining book that teaches grammar.  No, most students won't want to read it for pleasure, but they do seem to engage with it a lot more than other grammar resources that I've found.

To read my review of the book Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, click here.

If anyone else has a good grammar book for teens, I'd love to hear about it.
