Editorial Review: Product Description: Jane Bell Kiester, author of the popular Caught'ya! Grammar with a Giggle series, has adapted her effective and fun approach to meet the specific learning needs of middle-school students. Giggles in the Middle gives middle-school teachers the perfect alternative to boring grammar books and dry lectures. With this flexible, proven approach to teaching grammar, usage, and mechanics (GUM) skills and vocabulary, everyone has fun while they learn skills in context. You'll find: - One continuous story, "The Bizarre Mystery of Horribly Hard Middle School," divided into three parts, each with enough sentences for an entire school year. - Classroom-tested writing assignment suggestions, mini-lessons, and teaching tips. - "Almost midterm" and final exam tests for each grade, with teacher keys. - Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. - Complete vocabulary lists for words used in each part of the story. - For easy reference and duplication, a CD with the Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics Guide; the complete, uninterrupted story in narrative form; the midterm and final exam tests; and the Caught'ya sentences. Use Giggles in the Middle to improve writing and editing skills, raise test scores, engage students in leaning, and create classrooms filled with giggles! Average Rating:
 Rating: - An alternative to DOLI'm using this with Honors 7th grade ELA students whose editing skills aren't quite up to where they need to be for our state assessment (with a dreaded editing passage!). The kids love the story & the vocabulary is fantastic. These little activities have given my students countless new ways to insult younger siblings--odious, puerile, martinet--what great words! I love this book, and the accompanying CD is worth its weight in gold! Do not hesitate to buy! Keister provides step-by-step instructions ...

I'm amazed at how well my "reluctant" students are doing with it and surprised at the general enthusiasm to continue the "story" each day. It allows the students to have a consistant "bell ringer" that isn't just busywork. It is also a great way to interact with the students on an individual level and assess needs as far as GUM (grammar, usage, mechanics) goes. I love the CD--I put the daily Caught 'Ya it on a Power Point and ... Read More Rating: - love the caughtya'sThis is the third "Caught 'Ya" book I've purchased - my kids LOVE this idea, and they are LEARNING! Rating:  - MIddle School caught ya'sI have used another Caught Ya for several year, but have moved from high school to middle school. I am really enjoying the Caught Ya specifically for middle school. I can tell a difference in my students' writing, especially in the area of punctuation and more varied sentence formation. Sara Sherrill Hurricane Middle School Rating: - My grade 6 gifted class loves these!My gifted class will not sit still for a traditional (boring) grammar lesson, but their writing skills aren't keeping pace with their creative ideas. The "Caught'yas" in this book keep my kids focused on doing their grammar...everyday! The lessons help them with their writing and introduce $100 words into their vocabularies. With the included CD, I don't even need to type or write the "Caught'yas." I just copy and paste into a powerpoint and put the daily work on the projector. Truly a great find!
