Publisher's Synopsis
Designed for basic and developmental writing courses. As a supplement in a sentence to paragraph or paragraph to essay basic/developmental writing course or as the main text in a course that focuses entirely on grammar at the developmental level.
Overcomes students' initial fear of grammar and uses a focused and practical approach that connects functional grammar problems and respects and encourages the students' innate "ear" for grammar. Clear, step-by-step explanations and a wide variety of reinforcement drills and exercises -listening, speaking, editing, and writing - help students learn the differences between appropriate and inappropriate usage and to recognize and use standard English.
