DS found mine, from college, and fell in love with it. He asked me why we don't use this in school and... I couldn't think of a reason. I told him to go for it (whatever works, right?) But then I realized I haven't ever seen it mentioned at all in the hs'g communities. Not here, not there, not anywhere.

So, 'fess up - do you have one? Do you use it? Did you have one, but set it on fire beneath the light of the moon once you finished college? Where'd they all go? ;)

I have it, my ds14 uses it for reference. We use a writing program with him that has a handbook (Writing Aids), but I like for him to read from different sources. We don't do the exercises. I like that there are examples included in the text, I think it helps my son to read them.

I still have my copy from my college days lying around here somewhere.
My daughter is 4, so we won't be using it anytime soon.
