I teach English to 140 7th grade students. I am requesting grammar books on behalf of the English Department at my school. English is a second language for many of our students. Additionally, many of them started middle school below grade level. They have developed critical thinking skills and the content of their writing often demonstrates a deep understanding of the material. They have a great enthusiasm for sharing their ideas on paper. Yet, the majority of our students' use of language and grammar sometimes distracts readers from the actual content of their writing.
