Excerpt
The principal value in the book is not in dissuading teachers from direct teaching of grammar. It is in persuading them, with a judicious selection of sample exercises at many levels, that they must know grammar themselves and use use their knowledge to help students indirectly to increase their reading comprehension, literary understanding, editing skills, and ability to produce more mature syntax.
