About the Book

Teaching English, How To . . . . emphasizes three fundamental teaching techniques: directing reading assignments, modeling skills and using students’ questions to motivate learning and discussion. Three special features are daily ten-minute writing sessions to improve style and correctness, preparing students for the SAT 20-minute essay and a problem-centered grammar program designed to be applied to writing. This book contains specific recommendations for teaching almost every aspect of secondary English.

About the Author

Shirley DeLano Ryan writes: In a lifetime, beginning with early motor cars and wind-up phonographs and progressing to an International Space Station, there is a time period so dear to my heart: the days of my childhood, between World War I, when I was born, to World War II, when I was married. Growing up on a farm with my parents, four sisters, two brothers, and older relatives was complicated, humorous and inspiring. In this book, descendants may discover the source of their genes, and perhaps, the reader may also share a memory or two.
