　　20 Units of Self-Study Grammar Exercises with Tests!!
Mind Your Grammar is a series on parts of speech and grammar items that comes in three books—Book 1 for beginners (10-13 years old), Book 2 for intermediate (14-17years old) and Book 3 for advanced (general) learners. Level of competency may vary, however, due to the educational background of each learner. Therefore, this series have incorporated various forms of notes, exercises and mind-stretching activities to allow flexibility in the learning process.

　　Illustrated exercises and creative formations encourage learners to think ‘outside the box’. Learners may have to resource answers away from the notes given to sharpen their critical and creative thinking skills.

　　The literature component is incorporated as a way of guiding learners into the world of reading through writing, concluding and reading out the stories prepared in the Fun Grammar activity. The multiple intelligence skills are also tested through puzzles and creating stories within the grammar composite. Certain stories run from Book 1 to Book 2 and end in Book 3. This generates interest in learners to follow up on these stories as they progress from the basic items to more advanced structures in learning English.
