Part of Michael Clay Thompson's Language Arts Curriculum, Practice island is the first of the elementary level Practice Workbooks. Its aim is to improve students' grammar, writing and vocabulary through analysis of individual sentences. His proven and effective approach to teaching English begins with the basic principles and in later books progresses to advanced levels, all the while in a wonderfully fresh and accessible style and original format.

This is primarily a supplement to Grammar Island and Sentence Island; students work through the sentences using a unique four-level analysis and thereby reinforce their grammar and writing skills.

Each of the hundred sentences has a separate page with four blank lines to fill in the parts of speech, the parts of the sentence, phrases and clauses. By the end of the workbook, by examining a wide and often amusing set of sentences, students experience the success and satisfaction of a clear understanding of the principles of English sentences.
