Synopsis
The Gift of Good Language: A Practical Course for Young Writers This foundational volume introduces language and composition without heavy grammar, pairing each lesson with clear oral and written tasks. It emphasizes thinking as you learn to express yourself, guiding students from observation to description and storytelling.
