PEER stands for Practical English Exercises and Review. This software is an interactive, self-correcting study program designed to complement any Houghton Mifflin writing text by reinforcing students' understanding of key concepts and rules. The program contains approximately 350 computerized exercise items in the areas of sentence structure, diction, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. The straightforward menu system makes it easy to direct the program to a particular topic.
