English Equation: It All Adds Up!

By Stephanie Plain Potter

One plus two equals three is strictly a math concept, right? The English Equation disagrees. It is the idea that English contains different equations to produce designed results. The English Equation provides ways to teach and help individuals with the strategies to comprehend and analyze reading passages, master reading concepts, develop well-constructed sentences, and paragraphs; even learn ways to enjoy writing regardless of the academic level. It takes the guessing game out of English and opens the door to mastery. The activities will reinforce the idea and challenge thinking. Since this book is called English Equation, it will only equal success.

Dear Reader,

This book is designed to help anyone who wants to better understand the structure of English in terms of sentence development, reading, and writing. Since I am a teacher, it has activities for teaching, but anyone can use them to practice skill acquisition, improvement, and, or development.

Personal stories are shared in hopes that you will connect with me and know that you are not alone. English can be challenging, but it can also be mastered.

Happy Reading and Writing,

Stephanie Plain Potter

P.S. Regardless of age or stage of life, you can always learn something new and improve. Best to you and have fun!
