Between the Commas

In Between the Commas, Marty Brandt aims to transform sentence instruction by emphasizing play and experimentation over mere correctness, addressing a common frustration among teachers and students alike. He outlines three foundational “pillars” of sentence teaching—focus, development, and coherence—and introduces inventive terminology and practical exercises to make sentence mastery accessible and engaging. The book offers fresh insights and tools for educators seeking to enhance their students' writing skills through explicit and dynamic sentence instruction.
