Book Contents 内容简介
Reduce the stress of studying English and help your child with their homeworkThe perfect guide for parents who want to assist their children with schoolwork, "Help Your Kids with Language Arts" is designed to make all facets of studying the English language easy and interesting.Presenting the ins and outs of English in a clear, visual, and accessible style, "Help Your Kids with Language Arts" covers everything from the basic concepts of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and communication skills to some of the more challenging ideas that face students today.
The ability to speak and write well is essential for good communication in everyday
life and in school. Our messages—whether spoken or written—need to be clear and
easy for others to understand. While the importance of proper speaking and writing
skills is often lost in our world of texting, e-mailing, and instant messaging, these
skills are very important. Good speaking and writing skills help get a message across
clearly and accurately, and give it credibility. Writing that is riddled with errors of
grammar, punctuation, and spelling will reflect poorly on the writer, even if he or
she is very knowledgeable about a topic. A good command of the English language
and basic communication skills can lead to better grades in school and give a
student a clear advantage over someone who is less skilled in language usage.
The rules of grammar, punctuation, and spelling, and the skills needed to
communicate effectively can be bewildering. That’s why Help Your Kids with
Language Arts is an essential resource. This book presents examples that help to
make the rules of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and communication clear and
accessible. Wondering whether to say “you and me” or “you and I”? This book
will provide an easy-to-understand explanation.
This book sets out to explain in simple terms the rules of clear and effective
speaking and writing. It is divided into four chapters that focus on the key English
language arts topics: grammar, punctuation, spelling, and communication skills.
The information within each chapter is designed to make these English language
arts interesting and enjoyable to learn. Engaging examples supported by step-bystep, simple-to-follow explanations will make even the most confusing concepts
easy to grasp. This book will equip parents with the information they need to
help students develop the skills required to communicate effectively in both
speaking and writing.
As a former teacher, I am very aware of the importance of good communication
skills. Success in school and in life is enhanced by these skills. Help Your Kids
with Language Arts is an essential resource because throughout life we refine
our use of the English language—always striving for clear and accurate
communication with others.
