Description

Using shaggy dog stories based on classic literature, the Polettes address common spelling and grammatical errors and the ways in which children can be taught to read critically to recognize them.

Stories such as Rapunzel, Alice, The Hare and the Tortoise, and King Arthur, purposely embedded with common errors, have been pretested in teacher workshops given by Nancy Polette and in Dr. Keith Polette's classes at the University of Texas, El Paso.

Teachers found them specific enough to be used directly in the writing instruction curriculum and fun for students to read and try to figure out. Each full-page reproducible story and its corrected counterpart focus on common errors (incorrect use of quotation marks, end marks, capitalization, apostrophes, semicolons, run on sentences, homophones, verb usage, etc.).

An appendix offers answer explanations, rules to be learned and taught, and more.

Grades 3-8.
