Language Conventions has five major sections:

• Parts of Speech
  The workbook begins with Parts of Speech — the fundamental words which form the building blocks of sentence structure. A definition of the function of each part of speech is followed by examples and practice exercises. It also provides essential practice in how parts of speech clarify meaning by their placement in a sentence.
• Sentences
  Meaning can be enriched and sentence length varied by using the correct “Language Conventions” when forming sentences. ‘Language Conventions’ provides extensive hands-on practice in understanding phrases and clauses and how they can increase fluency in writing.
• Vocabulary
  Students will learn to distinguish between words and identify the word with the closest meaning. Knowledge of synonyms and antonyms will provide variety in their vocabulary.
• Punctuation
  Punctuation is the writer’s instructions on how a text should be read. Incorrectly punctuated sentences do not make sense. ‘Language Conventions’ deals with the major rules for punctuation in the English language, with many supporting practice exercises.
• Comprehension and Spelling Lists
