Punctuation Made Easy
An interactive punctuation lesson hosted by fun, animated game show hosts!
Using the dynamic and engaging approach only a multimedia format can offer, these presentations move beyond traditional textbook diagrams and static rules to create lessons that instruct and assess progress. Tutorials then target exactly where progress reports can be viewed.
With this software students can work independently to master these basic skills and with the time-efficient teacher oversight these CD-ROMs will create key building blocks for writing and communicating proper English more effectively.
It is learning in a fun, fast-paced, game show format. Teach, practice, implement, test.
