Over 30 Years of Research

In his work, Dr. Whimbey discovered that the power of sentence combining is that it strengthens many aspects of a student’s capacity to handle written material. Research has shown that sentence combining 1) improves a student’s ability to write mature, informative sentences; 2) reduces grammatical errors; 3) enhances the overall quality of any student paper or essay; 4) increases the amount and quality of revision; and 5) improves reading comprehension. Whimbey also found that when applied properly, sentence combining improves students’ critical thinking skills.
Dr. Whimbey now brings all of the benefits of sentence combining to teachers and students in Thinking Through Grammar, a program that can be done in just 10 minutes a day.
