Image Grammar | GRADES 6–12 | Harry Noden

Dynamic activity books that connect grammar and writing

Teaches a step-by-step approach that students enjoy because they actually see the connection between grammar and writing

Thousands of teachers have benefited from Image Grammar workshops taught by Harry Noden, and they've demanded that these books be developed! Now the concept of connecting grammar and writing through an artist's "brushstrokes," musical rhythm, and a photographer's "zoom lens" is available in student workbooks with extensive teacher support materials. A unique, useful, and concrete way to use grammatical concepts to improve student writing!
