Grammar Reference

[Kathleen Peets]

Hello all,

Could someone recommend a good, yet simple and not overly theoretical,
grammar reference text for RAs?

The challenge is that the RAs do not have linguistics courses in their
academic program (education), and I want them to be able to parse narrative
and expository texts by children, so they need to know what a clause is, and
somehow my own definitions and examples are not enough...Of course they also
need to have a general overview of English grammar - enough for accurate
transcription.

Thanks very much for any ideas.

Kathleen
