Have to tell you, playing the Sentence Zone game got kind of wild and wacky, with three people scrambling for cards at once, trying to build the longest, most complex, most entertaining sentence possible!
See my review at the Mr. Linky for more comments on the Zone and the Writer's Reference Guide.

I would have loved to have read your review, but was unable to because the font on her is so small and the color does not lend iteself to be easily read. Hoping this can be changed because I am currently looking at this curriculum and am in need of getting some well rounded reviews.
Thanks much!
