Good gravy! I just found out that I am to pick the winner of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Contest! You might be thinking to yourself, "Tia, you always pick the winners." Right you would be. For some reason I had it in my head that this contest was special and would be handled by the very special TOS Marketing Team. "Nope!" they said. "You pick it."

Posted 12:20 AM, Feb. 11, 2008
Well, here we are at the end of this super contest! Soon I will announce the 25 winners, but first I want to direct any new readers to the prize all 25 winners will receive.
The Sentence Structure and Parts of Speech CD offers over thirty narrated
lessons covering the parts of speech and includes reviews and challenging
sentences to meet every student's need.
Each lesson begins with a review of the "KEY" and the specific questions it
asks. Then, after a narrated text, students are given matching questions to
ensure they understand the information provided in the lesson. Next, they
are introduced to sentences where they must demonstrate their understanding
by labeling specific words. If students make a mistake, the program will
inform them at that precise moment and offer them clues to work toward the
right answer.
Although The Grammar Key requires students to identify the right answer
before they can move on to the next sentence, it still displays a final
grade at the end of that lesson from the number of mistakes made. This not
only ensures 100% mastery of all work performed, but saves you, the teacher
or parent, from having to check the answers.
Robert Conklin, The Grammar Key owner wants to give 25 of these CD's away!
He asks that you tell all of your friends that The Grammar Key is now an affordable tool for EVERYONE. Go check out his website and see all of his products
