English Common Core (Speedy Study Guides)

Book excerpt: Common core English focuses on sentence structure and recognition of words in their main usage roles. This particular curriculum demands a mastery of noun, verb and modifier word recognition. Basic sentence structure that is vital for multilingual comparison is also required. A flowchart of of English words, their uses with different forms of identifiers, and how they are modified is extremely useful to the English-as-second-language learner. Visual charts showing the most universal modifiers like -er, -ier, -es and -ize help to make English accessible to a wide range of students.
