For the Sake of Teaching Writing, Deliver Us from Traditional Grammar.

Ulin, Richard O.; Schlerman, Betty Jane

High School Journal, v62 n2 p58-68 Nov 1978

The authors review studies which suggest that sentence combining exercises might improve composition in ways that traditional grammar has long been alleged to do, particularly in the areas of sentence structure, usage, ideas, and style. Implications are drawn for grammar instruction in the middle school. (Author/SJL)
