Synopsis

The first full-color book in the developmental writing market, this book focuses on helping readers build sentence and paragraph writing skills. With its encouraging tone, careful explanations, and abundance of carefully sequenced and incrementally challenging exercise sets, it enables readers to view writing as a means of discovering more about themselves and their surroundings. The book starts with an overview of the writing process with special attention given to prewriting and the development of topic and supporting sentences to help readers put grammar correctness in the context of writing. Parts 2 through 5 provide lucid and well-illustrated explanations of basic sentence elements, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Part 6 is a section of reading selections which includes an introduction on critical reading and comprehension and contains numerous writing exercises. An appendix provides practical advice for ESL writers studying English grammar and writing. For professionals wishing to improve upon their writing skills.
