How to Write for Class: A Student's Guide to Grammar, Punctuation, and Style is a comprehensive guide to the concepts students need to know to write effectively for school. Rather than treat grammar as a series of rules to be memorized, it emphasizes the logic behind the English language as well as the relationship between grammar and meaning. The approach taken in this book is also based on the observation that students often find it challenging to apply rules studied in isolation, or through overly-simplified examples, to the more complex statements they want to include in their own writing. How to Write for Class is designed to help bridge that gap: it makes use of numerous examples from actual papers and walks students through the process of constructing the type of sophisticated but grammatically coherent statements that will raise their academic writing to the next level. Appropriate for advanced middle-school through college writers.

The Complete Guide to English Usage for Australian Students has been a trusted reference book for Australian secondary students for more than 25 years. The fifth edition retains the comprehensiveness and reliability of the previous edition but has been extensively revised to accurately reflect the new Australian Curriculum, including the use of grammatical terms such as a nominalisationa , a connectivesa and a noun groupa . The Communication through Writing section has been re-arranged and extended to reflect the Australian Curriculum categories for types of text (imaginative texts, informative texts, and argumentative or persuasive texts). The Appendix on functional grammar has been retained and is a useful guide to some of the unfamiliar Australian Curriculum terminology, including concepts like modality and cohesion. The Complete Guide has an abridged version called The Shorter Guide.
