3. Bootstrap Grammar: How to understand and avoid common errors in writing (2010)
Authors: Jean Samis
This manual offers a straightforward guide to the often complicated task of writing in English. There are chapters that focus on sentences with action verbs; sentences with “being” verbs; adjectives; adverbs; phrases; and compound structures.
The manual would be helpful both for people whose first language is English and for those who are learning it as a second language.
The author shows how to diagram sentences to make it easier to identify the parts of speech; defines such terms as subject, verb, object, and pronoun; and explains the distinctions between words that sound the same, like “they’re, their and there.” There are numerous practice exercises, with an answer key at the back.
The link provided takes the user to the latest version of the handbook.
There is also a test manual for teachers, which is available by contacting the author at jeansamis@gmail.com.

5. The Companion to SARAW (1999)
An Exercise Workbook
The Companion to SARAW (Speech Assisted Reading and Writing) was developed for an expressed need, to expand the SARAW program's capabilities within the framework of the computer program. With the READ section of SARAW being an untapped wealth of learning opportunities, the stories from READ were taken and from them Directed Reading and Thinking Activities were created. The same stories were also used to develop basic grammar exercises. Finally, a chapter was designed specifically for volunteer tutors and instructors that includes specific activities that could be done using different sections of the SARAW program. The ultimate goal of this publication is to make learning as easy and interesting as possible.
