And how can I teach grammar so it isn't boring to my students? In Grammar Matters, Lynne Dorfman and Diane Dougherty answer these questions and more. Using mentor texts as the cornerstone for how best to teach grammar, this book provides teachers with almost everything they need to get kids engaged in, and excited about, learning grammar.
