ONLINE COURSES IN LANGUAGE & WRITING
The Writer's Guide to Grammar
Our innovative online course on the essentials of clear English
 This two-semester course is taught by the author of The Writer's Guide to Grammar. It puts in place skills and knowledge foundational to the study of English and the mastery of clear writing. The weekly class is live and online, and students master all the most important principles of the English language — grammar, usage, punctuation, and more.
Roy Speed leads his students through a kind of boot-camp in the fundamentals of clear, correct English — intensive training that relies on his own extraordinary material (see the reviews and preview the content on Amazon).
Most important, Roy Speed teaches grammar principles not for their own sake, but as requisites for important writing tools — as keys to perceiving both:

What parents are saying
Thank you so much for offering these fantastic classes. They are both effective and fun, making the lessons stick longer for our children. I cannot praise them enough. My son can now correct the bad grammar on TV shows, which has been a pleasant surprise. He has become more confident and really enjoyed the examples provided throughout the course.

 This book has it all. Home run!
May 18, 2019
Format: Paperback
Outstanding in every realm, this book has it all — mechanics, organization, conventions, sentence fluency and all essential grammar. The Writer's Guide to Grammar offers the most succinct, easy-to-remember explanations for all the glitchy grammar issues while striking a perfect balance between definitions and practice. And there are clever illustrations!
It was written with students in mind. There is a Teacher's Guide (superb) and a Student Workbook. I've tutored writing to middle school and high school students for the past 15 years, so I was eager to find a fresh approach to showing the way through the grammar jungle. Home run — THIS book is it. I've already recommended it to several families and have adopted it as the backbone for my tutoring. Bottom line — it takes all of the mystery out of applying the rules without ever getting dull.
But it is not just for students. This book should be the go-to for writers of every kind. Students, parents, teachers, employees and employers — The Writer's Guide to Grammar will make you a better and more accurate communicator.
