About This Book

The Scholastic Writer's Desk Reference will help kids of all skill levels become more accurate and confident writers.

Kids will turn to this book for answers to questions on grammar, punctuation, and spelling — from parts of speech and subject-verb agreement to the proper uses of commas. Memory tricks and rules make spelling easy and fun, and writing projects like thank-you notes, science experiments, social studies essays and book reports are made simple with dozens of kid-friendly examples.

A general reference section deciphers confusing homonyms, abbreviations, and idioms; the detailed table of contents and index help children find information quickly.
