I am a home schooler, and the memory tips in this little book are invaluable teaching tools. Some I remembered, some I had forgotten...and some were new to me. All can serve anyone on "memory lane." It even helped me come up with memory keys on my own. Great book, and an easy read.

Grammar has not come easy for me especially as we age, this wonderfully easy written book makes it enjoyable to jog and teach us once again the basics. Lots of good information and easy to digest facts, figures, commas and periods. Great book for all ages.
