In Mastering Punctuation, concepts are introduced, practiced, and revisited in a variety of short daily drills. Level 1 is designed to be completed in 12-14 weeks. Level 2 is designed to be completed in 13-15 weeks. Review sections are spaced throughout the text. Practical writing assignments progressively take your student’s understanding to the next level: application. This goal, the consistent application of punctuation rules in everyday writing, is really what we are after. The end result is writing that is clearly expressed and understandable to the reader.
