Synopsis

With its flexible and effective organization, varied and focused practices, and interesting writing assignments, THE WRITE START: SENTENCES TO PARAGRAPHS WITH PROFESSIONAL AND STUDENT READINGS, 4TH EDITION combines writing and grammar instruction to help students build the core skills necessary for becoming effective writers. English as a Second Language pedagogy, from which all developing writers can benefit, informs the entire text. This new edition has been reorganized to better reflect the way that instructors teach the material; combining chapters was a logical and sensible strategy and will enhance the texts navigability. Exercises on sentence fragments and sentence combining have been added, as have new timely and thought-provoking professional and student readings, self-assessment questionnaires, and end-of-chapter "Writing Opportunities" that encourage students to see themselves as experts who will use writing in their careers.

Review

"It's a reader, a handbook, a rhetoric, and a style manual all in one." "Over the many years I have taught developmental English (specifically writing), and with my years of using different texts, The WRITE START, SENTENCES TO PARAGRAPHS, is still the most appropriate text for my course." "I think the greatest strengths of the text are the readings that clearly illustrate a variety of different types of writing and step-by-step approach to building sentences. Also, the Writer's Resource section is an excellent resource for the students who typically take this class."
