Goals: This effective, standards-based software uses thinking (not drill and practice) to sharpen students' grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and attention to detail. The software provides high-quality independent learning and immediate feedback for students and teachers. Methods: Students learn the rules of language mechanics by applying them to engaging real-life stories. As students edit these stories, they will: - identify errors by analyzing and evaluating each story, picture, and caption.
- identify and select the rule that applies to each error, prompting the software to self-correct. (Students are not required to correct on-screen text.)
- use on-screen instructions, hints, and rules that allow them to work, learn, and succeed independently.
Features: - 33 activities with beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of play
- Quick or detailed instructions
- Hints that help students keep learning even if they don't know a rule- no getting stuck
- Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation that teaches and reinforces concepts
- Saves unfinished games
- Self-grading, with printable student data
