File Cabinet is a page dedicated to reading, writing, and grammar. Here you can download easy-to-follow instruction guides that will assist you when engaging in any of the five modes of written discourse, reading in search of meaning, or writing sentences while paying attention to mechanics, style, and usage. These guides may look a bit different from the ones distributed in class because they are stored in HTML format and a basic Times New Roman font, but they contain the same useful information.

Keep in mind that there are no return links from the worksheets. Each one opens in its own browser window. You will notice that a second browser button appears on your Taskbar when you select a link. You will need to either close the second window or select the other browser button on your Taskbar to return to this page. You can print these worksheets by selecting FILE and PRINT on your browser's FILE MENU BAR.
