PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Wordswork staff is on a mission to tackle those tiny symbols that help make our writing more clear: punctuation! The team digs through the writing samples submitted to their literary magazine to uncover the rules of punctuation. They discover that punctuation marks like commas, periods and quotation marks are special road signs that help control word traffic in our sentences, stories and letters. Our faithful Wordswork editors gain appreciation for the small but mighty punctuation marks as they use their knowledge to turn a nonsensical mystery message into a perfectly understandable letter! Part of the multivolume Grammar for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
