Did
you know there is only one thing required to master
punctuation?
It absolutely changes everything once you know it...we Guarantee it!
Whether
you’re using punctuation to read fluently or are looking for the rules
of
all punctuation, the Number
One Secret of good punctuation will show
you how to be sure you’re writing correctly...without memorizing a set
of rules.
From Dr. Fred R. Lybrand
I'm
about to tell you the secret of
teaching children how to love writing, how to learn to write with
great ease, and how to write exceptionally well. This secret is now
shared by our
five children and a growing number of graduates of The Writing
Course. But before I share anything with you, I need you
to think about what you are looking for...I'm

My name is
Fred Lybrand and for the last 30 years I have been studying Effectiveness
in Writing
for my career, my hobby, and to pass it on as a heritage to my
children. Although I have two degrees in language arts, my doctorate,
and 4 published books--- I have had some of my greatest success in
showing others the power and ease of writing with excellence.
Therefore, I decided to put this course together to help your child
overcome all of the common obstacles most kids face in trying to learn
how to write well.
Good
punctuation is something that comes very easy to students once they
know the secret of their language instinct. Personally, I
think our unique approach is a fun way to teach punctuation.
In
fact, once a student learns our method, he’ll never need
to look at a punctuation book again...GUARANTEED.
So
what makes a great punctuation curriculum?
There
are tons of phony and misleading sites out there that offer
off-the-wall and unsuccessful
approaches to punctuation . Make sure the information you
considering buying includes the following:
A simple punctuation study sheet that explains
what the student really needs to know.
A wise distaste for learning or teaching
punctuation rules
A method for training in the classical “how it
sounds” approach to punctuation
Why too much punctuation instruction hurts
learning how to write
The power of using punctuation to read fluently
and the natural way to teach punctuation cues.

I’m sure I wouldn’t love to write if Dad had taught
me to worry over
punctuation .
- Forrest Lybrand, San Antonio, Texas
After
we got the Writing Course - my daughter, R., didn't want to do it (this
is her). So I told her she had to anyway. After only a few lessons I
can tell it is one
of her favorite subjects - and
she has come to me and told me "He's right about that part of writing."
I
never thought this would happen, really, but it just
doesn't insult anyone's intelligence
and is not really about "grammar" and "English" at all - except
speaking well and using that on paper or knowing why you want to do
otherwise.
-S.G., Colorado
In
view of the widespread agreement of research studies based upon many
types of students and teachers, the conclusion can be stated in strong
and unqualified terms that the teaching of formal
[traditional] grammar has a
negligible or, because it usually displaces
some instruction and practice in actual composition, even a harmful
effect on the improvement of writing. (pp. 37-38)

Information:
Book Title: The Teacher's Grammar Book. Contributors: James D. Williams
- author. Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Place of Publication:
Mahwah, NJ. Publication Year: 1999.
A
large part of your life was spent in learning English grammar and usage.
What
did you get out of it? How often
do you use your precious knowledge of moods and tenses, participles and
gerunds, demonstrative pronouns, and subordination conjunctions?
The
obvious answer is, Never.
You speak, read, write all day long, but throughout your adult life you
haven't spent a single second deciding whether to put a verb in the
indicative or the subjunctive, or in exercising a choice between a
definite and indefinite article. Grammar is something you learn,
promptly forget, and dismiss for the rest of your life.
