More Nitty-Gritty Grammar

More Nitty-Gritty Grammar and its predecessor, Nitty-Gritty Grammar, are simply terrific! The team of Fine and Josephson have created a duo of books which gently teach an elusive subject and yet entertain the reader.Imagine a book with a CNN-style scroll at the bottom of each page. Follow the scroll and learn something new in grammar or refresh yourself on something half forgotten since high school. Then, viola!, the scroll also gives the reader a page reference to read more.Go a step further. Check out the cartoons (good ones like Baby Blues and Heathcliff) for more grammar pointers. Who woulda thunk it? Cartoonists as grammarians!! Wonderful!Fine and Josephson make their points without insulting the student nor overburdening the teacher. Nitty-Gritty is well organized and well explained. I have used these books very successfully in tutoring adults. A recent forty-five year old student, Cheryl, remarked she followed her book's CNN ticker in her text and "couldn't get enough of it." I agree with Cheryl.

I purchased this in Kindle format to use with our Brave Writer book guides. I love the information and the way grammar is explained. However, the kindle version has a huge problem with the page numbers! While all the pages appear to be present the numbers are way off. Here are the numbers if the first dozen pages: 1, 3, 4, 22, 41, 42, 44, 49, 57, 58, 69, 77. As you can imagine this makes it very difficult to find the pages I'm looking for. In total, the page numbers go from 1 to 6266!

I like it's user-friendliness. Some topics weren't covered, but what it does cover was pretty easy to understand and it's not a huge and overwhelming book to read. My kids love the comics.

Everything we wanted to know got answered. Am using this from the recommendation of Bravewriter for use in our homeschool to teach a kid how to write. Very good presentation of grammar - way more fun than Strunk & White

This easy to read grammar book fit the bill for me when I needed to brush up on some basic rules quickly for an exam. There are plenty of examples to help cement each concept and the authors also use comic strips to emphasize each point. I highly recommend this book the anyone who wants to learn how to write a paper correctly.

Love the book! Great review! Yes. I can and do look up grammar online. I still need a good book. This one is part of my grammar toolkit.

I would buy anything recommended by Julie Bogart. She just knows her stuff.

It covers a lot but we regularly have to refer to other sources for deeper information or to answer further questions my son has.

Loved it👍🏻

本書はNitty-Gritty Grammarの続刊であるが、構成は一変して文法用語・句読法・(論争語法の)語彙などのアルファベット配列の辞書形式を取っている。例えば、文法用語ではABBREVIATIONS, ACCENT MARKS, AGREEMENTなど。語彙はAS IF/LIKE, AS IF/ AS THOUGHなど。主見出しはスモールキャピタル、下位見出しは Pronoun-Noun Agreementのような普通のローマンの形をとっている。内容はかなり初歩的で､既知事項の確認に使える。途中で未知の情報があれば儲けものといった感じである。TIME　AND　 MONEYといった主見出しもある（an hour’s delay などが扱われる）。APPOSTROPHESあるいはPOSSESIVESという主見出しがあるわけだかからそこで扱うべきだろう。見出しの立て方があやふやで、全体として雑然としている感じである。辞書として使いにくいので、通読すると良いだろう。　数時間で読める。
