Grammar Bytes is a website that I found when I was teaching freshmen English at Clemson. Our students were expected to be proficient in grammar before they ever enrolled in school. Therefore, teaching any type of grammar, punctuation, etc. was really frowned upon. Unfortunately, this was very unrealistic as most of our students did in fact need a lot of help in that area. I found this website to help supplement what we couldn't do in class. It has handouts, presentations, and, my favorite, interactive exercises that will even explain why you missed a question. It covers many areas of grammar, punctuation, and even word choice. If the student's are getting a little tired of the ITTS program, or if it's just not working for them, give www.chompchomp.com a try!
