A grammar reference for heritage speakers?

[Tom Hurt]

Also check out "Russian: A Practical Grammar with Exercises" by I.
Pul'kina. ISBN 5-200-02542-7. It is not designed for heritage speakers,
but is extremely straightforward with the presentation of grammatical
concepts.

> Can anyone recommend a grammar reference book for heritage speakers,
> either one specifically designed for them, or one that might provide
> particularly clear overviews of the "basics":a description of the
> case system, 'imperfective' vs. 'perfective' verbs, etc.? I'm
> teaching a third-year Russian course that introduces students to
> literary texts, and I have two students who can speak and read but
> have had little (or no) formal introduction to the study of Russian
> language, and thus cannot identify, say, the instrumental case, even
> if it were to sneak up and bite them on the nose.

> Thanks in advance,
