Grade(s): 4-7 Activities: 52 Pages: 172 The Language Mechanic is an effective, comprehensive program that uses fun examples and logical reasons to eliminate the confusion students often feel while learning the rules of language mechanics.

Examples are followed by an explanation of the specific rule, the logic behind it, then guided and independent practice exercises.
