Customer Feedback -
Grammar Fitness |
 |
 |
"The students like it better than pencil and paper. We like that it is
diagnostic, and that we can get reports on students' work. It is really
like an electronic workbook," says an educator at Tulare Western High
School in Tulare, CA, about Merit Software's Grammar Fitness.
Grammar Fitness helps students learn the basics of usage and punctuation,
as well as many of the more troublesome points of grammar. This easy-to-use
software tracks student progress, allowing teachers to print reports.
