Dan has made it his business to delve into punctuation, and we are all the wiser for the impressive and exciting writing about the subject that he has done in this book.

Carl Anderson

Author of Hows It Going? and Assessing Writers

In all the books Ive read about written language, Dans is the first to explore the minds ear. He has actually changed the way I read as well as write. How lucky we are to (finally) have an intellectually engaging exploration of what we have too long considered drudgery.When you consider Dans approach, youll wonder how you ever taught another way.

Get ready to be taken by the hand by a master teacher who will show you how to teach students the rules of punctuation in clearly defined lessons. From the first page I was eager to take this book to my own teaching.

Mary Ehrenworth

Author of The Power of Grammar

Punctuation is important. Period. Good writers know the rules, but skilled punctuators dont simply go by the conventions. They use punctuation to make meaning. Practical Punctuation shows you how to help students discover the relationship between punctuation and meaningand how they can use it to improve their writing.

Practical Punctuations strategies help writers connect periods, commas, and dashes to mood, emphasis, and rhythm. Dan Feigelsons ready-to-use lessons provide opportunities to:

show students the purposes of punctuation before teaching them the rules
give writers chances to experiment with punctuating
model the thinking that goes into punctuating
teach conventions explicitly, but not absolutely
hold students accountable for punctuation in formal writing.

Feigelsons lessons are highly structured. They demonstrate how to teach punctuation as a craft tool with writers of varying sophistication or age:

beginners: ending punctuation
intermediate-stage writers: the comma
advanced writers: internal punctuation and cadence.

Feigelson includes a handy teachers reference guide to punctuation as well as grade-by-grade guidelines that make assessing punctuation simpler. And his interviews with world-renowned authors will help you and your writers better understand the power punctuation has to impart meaning.

Read Practical Punctuation and help students make choices with punctuationinstead of letting punctuation rules make choices for them.
