Grammar with a Giggle; Caught'ya Again! More Grammar with a Giggle; The Chortling Bard! Grammar with a Giggle for High School; Giggles in the Middle: Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for Middle School; Eggbert, the Ball, Bounces by Himself: Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for First Grade; Putrescent Petra Finds Friends: Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for Second Grade; and Juan and Marie Join the Class: Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for Third Grade (these last three were formerly Elementary, My Dear! Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for Grades 1, 2, and 3), all published by Maupin House. Teachers all over the country also use the new edition of her third book, Blowing Away the State Writing Assessment Test, to help improve their students' scores on state writing assessment tests. Jane currently is writing three new books. In addition to writing books, Jane has given hundreds of workshops to fellow teachers around the country for the past ten years. Her subject? The same as in her classroom, where she happily taught elementary or middle school for more than 30 years -- teaching students to write well. In her three decades as a classroom teacher, Jane has served many years as various department chairpersons and grade-level chairperson. She is also a past president of the Alachua County Teachers of English. Jane has been recognized three times by "Who's Who Among America's Teachers." In 2002 she won Teacher of the Year for her school and Middle School Teacher of the Year for her county. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - homeschool helpI am using this for Homeschooling-----using a notebook, I make a daily entry, he corrects it, and we go over it together at the end of the day. It has been a very useful tool in teaching grammar principles by example to a boy without a burning interest in the subject. Rating:  - Giggling Good GrammarThis is the only how-to teacher book that I've read cover to cover in the last 10 years. I love Hairy. I ordered Giggles in the Middle: Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle for Middle School and also read it cover to cover. In a desolate, lifeless, serious world of standards that my colleagues bemoan and administrators preach, these books are small green seedlings of hope. Rating: - Caught'yasCaught'yas has great ideas to engage all students in correcting writing errors. I really liked that it is personalized for every class and stresses that it should be fun. Rating: - My Students LOVE THIS BOOK!I bought the book at Christmas break and my 4th graders look forward to it every morning when they come in the door. Brilliant! Rating:  - Not Positive for Character EducationAlthough the concept is a good one, I swept this book under rug. As an English teacher, I am always willing to find fun activities to peak my student's learning, but I refuse to use stories that sound disrespectful toward teachers and students. My job is to teach respect for peers and to build character while teaching the beauty of Engish, but this book offers neither.
