We have included a special bonus section: Marko shows you how to proofread your work, and he reveals secrets to score well on multiple-choice writing tests. Plus, you will find free downloadable posters and support material at Marko’s special website. All of the students using this program during our research loved watching it and commented that many of the writing concepts that they had heard about in school finally made sense to them. Spectacular animation and Marko’s humor keep students focused. We suggest that the main program be viewed at a separate session from the bonus material.
