This book has been wonderful to use in my 8th grade Language Arts classes as a daily warm-up. The students enjoy reading and correcting these funny stories way more than anything else I have tried. In fact, I ordered this book because one of my students was sitting with me as I previewed it and was laughing out loud! It is well worth the purchase!

After trying at least four other proofreading exercise programs over the years, I've finally found the winner of the bunch. These proofreading exercises are at just the right level for my middle schoolers, and the humor keeps them engaged. The jokes are helping improve my EL students' reading comprehension, as well. At first, my EL students had to frequently ask for the explanation to a joke. Now, most of them pick up on the context clues that create the humor. I highly recommend "Phunny Stuph."

I homeschool my two daughters and try to keep their interest up in every possible way. This book accomplishes that. Fun, entertaining and educational. They're learning without the strain or boredom normally tied English lessons. Outstanding!

As an 8th grade English teacher, I am always looking for something to get my students excited about and engaged in learning. I use one of these proofreading exercises daily as a bell-ringer, and they love it. They enjoy coming in to see what crazy joke we have next. The exercises are just the right length to give them adequate practice, but not so long that it takes too much class time. This is truly one of the best books I have purchased.

As a middle school writing teacher, I had trouble getting students interested in proofreading and editing. These proofreading activities are fast and easy to use, and what middle schooler doesn't enjoy a joke to spice up an assignment?
