The Mighty Pen: A Superhero's Companion for Powerful Writing is designed to partner with early middle school students in overcoming the often-perplexing puzzle of English grammar. With a fun superhero vibe, our text seeks to avoid a tedious approach of "grammar for grammar's sake" and instead teach grammatical concepts within the practical context of composition. Grammar is truly just composition's sidekick, after all! Rather than looking only at defining grammatical terms (i.e., what a verb is), this workbook focuses on applying grammatical skills (i.e., how writers use verbs to their advantage) to make young writers confident in their academic compositions.
