Any basic English class will teach these skills. If you have a community college nearby, call them up and talk to a counselor about an extended education course you can take in basic English. There are also good books out there for you to learn what is appropriate or not. Brown's Little Brown Handbook on Grammar is a good one. Hit a bookstore and see what they have to offer. Ask them which one is their best seller and get it or buy it used on Amazon once you figure out what one to get.  Good Luck and happy writing!!

If your main concern is trying to control children in a classroom setting - what about in a tutoring environment? Or perhaps you can go into developing curriculum?\n\nNot really an answer - just throwing out new ideas.

Here are some of my favorites!\n\nWorksheets:\nhttp://www.kidzone.ws/\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/fish/printouts/index.shtml (some parts require membership -- much is free)\nhttp://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/critical_thinking/people_that/ (Again, parts are free)\nhttp://www.superkids.com/ (I especially love the math worksheets.)\nhttp://www.first-school.ws/theme/animals/cp_farm.htm\nhttp://penmanship.donnayoung.org/k_1nf.htm\nhttp://penmanship.donnayoung.org/charts.htm\n\nHealth and Nutrition:\nhttp://www.dairycouncilofca.org/globals/glob_down.htm\n\nFree books/grammar helps/literature:\nhttp://www.readinga-z.com/newfiles/previewdownload.html\nhttp://owlet.letu.edu/ (Parts of this site "forbidden" -- parts accessible.

m+m the best thing you can do is contact adult education at your local Board of Education.  They have programs that start with people who can not read, write or spell.  I know people who have done it and go on to be able to enter college or trade school.  Anything you do along that line will help you greatly.  If you know someone who has the time try to get them to help.  If you really do not want to share your problem with anyone, get the leapster type things that young children use to get started learning.  They can be found in toy departments.  Good luck and God Bless you for wanting to learn.

Try taking English 101. They teach all sorts of neat things like capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.\n\nIt's really cool.

Well as said previously, you can search google for a quick online test... Or you can take it one step further and get Mavis Beacon from Broderbund (trail version is available on their site). That not only tells you your words per minute, it also helps you work on improving it by means of more tests, lessons, and even games.

As a high school teacher, I beg you to please, please, teach the little darlings grammar and spelling.  I have high school students in 12th grade who still can't write, or recognize, a complete sentence.  Correcting and grading their work is a nightmare.  Content is fine, but it is far easier to teach a young adult how to improve content than it is to un-teach poor grammar.\n\nEnglish grammar is difficult (even I make mistakes at times), but with constant repetition, children do learn. With regard to diagramming sentences, I can only say that as a child I hated it. I found the lines confusing rather than helpful.  I now include a short grammar session in every class.  My students expect it, and they have actually reminded me when I've forgotten to include it.  Also, they say they wish they'd been taught grammar in elementary school.
