Don't growl over grammar.

Try our new approach and both you and your students will be smiling! Do your students think that grammar class is torture? Can they tell a pronoun from a preposition, an indirect object from a direct object? Do they forget grammar rules as soon as they learn them? And even if they remember, can they apply them? Stevenson's Essential Grammar is a different method which uses mnemonic clues to improve memory and draw on the strengths of the right side of the brain. We have used our years of experience solving the toughest educational problems to simplify the teaching of grammar. You no longer need to listen to half your class groan in confusion while the others groan in boredom. Everyone will enjoy the lessons and those who usually lag behind will shine.

Stevenson Students will:

REMEMBER - We make the abstract concrete. We use special techniques (mnemonics) so students do not have to memorize strange technical terms by rote. They will know grammar a year later as well as the week they learned it.

MASTER
- The teaching of all skills is thoroughly integrated. One skill lays the foundation for the next and is then reinforced by it. If the directives are followed in sequence, mastery is assured.

APPLY - Our pupils learn a method, not isolated facts. They can identify mistakes and correct them. They compose grammatically accurate sentences. They learn to write!!


BEGINNING GRAMMAR STUDENTS - Students in grades 4 through 7 will gain a firm grasp of fundamentals. Most students will cover the material in one school year or less. Gifted older students will be able to finish it in a semester. Learning disabled students may need more than a year, but less than two, and they will succeed with mastery.

REMEDIAL STUDENTS - Many students in grades 7 through 12 have been taught basic grammar, but they either forgot it quickly or were unable to handle it. These students will succeed by spending approximately one year in


STEVENSON'S ESSENTIAL GRAMMAR. Severely Learning Disabled pupils may require more time with the material.
