About this title

Synopsis

SENTENCE COMBINING WORKBOOK uses sentence-combining techniques to help you develop confidence in your writing at the sentence level and practice in communicating your ideas in clear sentence structures. Each unit focuses on a specific sentence-level technique, followed by a set of sentence-combining exercises involving a narrative story or factual topic. Through this innovative story-telling approach, you'll practice viewing individual sentences as part of a larger context and develop your sentence expansion skills.

Review

"Composition research shows that most developmental writers tend to write short, choppy sentences, hence the need for students to learn about sentence-combining methods. Altman's workbook gives students a strong foundation on the sentence-level. Students certainly gain a deeper understanding of sentence structure, and how to develop their sentences' syntactic complexity. The pace of the book is just right, and the tone is clear without being condescending. It is evident from the workbook's organization and content that it was created by experienced classroom teachers."

"I've been using this book for nearly 20 years, since its pre-publication days at SFSU. It's methodology and pedagogical approach are grounded in solid theory and it works! Instruction is clear and concise and exercises are effective and thorough."
