Spotlight On...

Last year I felt empowered by Amy Benjamin’s workshop to go back to class and work with kids on vocabulary and writing, and now I feel even more comfortable with grammar instruction as an organic approach in relation to writing and literature.

Jenks, OK

Amy Benjamin’s approach to grammar is the only one I have found that makes sense and is teachable. Youngsters not only learn about grammar, but they learn how to write more effectively. I am immensely impressed and only wish I had known about Amy’s work thirty years ago.
