Perfect Punctuation: Taking the Guesswork out of Dots and Dashes
Too many writers like to guess about what punctuation mark to use. Some even try to make a period look like a comma, or a semicolon look like a colon. They think readers will just pass their trickery by; however, leaving the interpretation of ideas in writing to guesswork puts the reader in a "work-to-understand" mode, and the writer's ideas and views may not be clearly understood. Today, more than ever, text messaging and e-mails are adding to the confusion, and perhaps we are now "unlearning" the rules of good punctuation. Pellegrino has authored A Writer's Guide to Perfect Punctuation, a book that can be used from elementary grades through university and into the workplace. No longer will you have to be faced with questions such as, "Mom, where do I put the comma?" All the comma rules and examples are in Pellegrino's reference book. In addition, every punctuation mark in American English is included.


Embedding Transition: How to Take Your Reader from Beginning to End
Many teachers and writers fail to understand that the eight methods of transition, and particularly the use of transitional words and expressions, help them to organize their paragraphs and whole compositions. Pellegrino will introduce transition, demonstrate some useful activities that you can use with students, and leave you wondering why no one ever taught you about the value of transitional organization when you were in school. Writers are supposed to take their readers from beginning to end with writing that is connected, that flows, and that is clear. Pellegrino's A Writer's Guide to Transitional Words and Expressions is used from elementary levels through the university and on the job. It is his best-seller. If you should ever take your eyes off your copy, it will be snatched up by someone.
