OP here - Thankyou

So, my DS just started TJ, after being homeschooled for several years. We worked alot on writing, and, as his teacher, I searched for the best writing books. There are some good books on grammar, but by far the one I recommend for structure is this one (I can't say enough good things about it, and I've looked at them all, trust me):

Be careful or people harping about cheating/prepping will jump all over you.

you do realize that there is a difference between paying thousands to learn how to game a test that isn't supposed to be able to be gamed and learning how to write an essay?

Do you have any favorite non-fiction books that she would like? You can use those to demonstrate how to lay out a thesis and support it with evidence
