Synopsis

With its flexible and effective organization, varied and focused practices, and interesting writing assignments, the Third Edition of The Write Start: Sentences to Paragraphs 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. In each chapter, "You Need to Know" boxes preview the key concepts. Prewriting techniques in early chapters give way to photo-prompted prewriting exercises in later chapters. End-of-chapter "Writing Opportunities" offer workplace exercises that encourage students to see themselves as experts who will use writing in their careers.
