Reviews
"As a long-time second language learner and educator, I find Grammar Inquiries, Grades 6-12: An Inquiry- and Asset-Based Approach to Grammar Instruction aligns well with what I have experienced as a learner and have incorporated in my own classroom. For someone new to the idea of grammar inquiries, this book is a useful tool to get started. For educators who have been using inquiry and authentic text for a while, the book affirms our practice."
