Now in its 10th edition, English Skills with Readings emphasizes
personalized learning to address student deficits in grammar and
mechanics. Throughout the book, students are exposed to examples of
writing that reflect the three key realms of their lives -
personal, academic, and workplace. Seeing these different types of
writing helps students understand the critical way in which writing
will have an impact on the many facets of their lives. English
Skills with Readings continues to encourage new writers to see
writing as a skill that can be learned and a process that must be
explored. The four skills, or bases, for effective writing are as
follows: * Unity: Discover a clearly stated point, or topic
sentence, and make sure that all other information in the paragraph
or essay supports that point. * Support: Support the points with
specific evidence, and plenty of it. * Coherence: Organize and
connect supporting evidence so that paragraphs and essays
transition smoothly from one bit of supporting information to the
next. *Sentence skills: Revise and edit so that sentences are
error-free for clearer and more effective communication. The four
bases are essential to effective writing, whether it be a narrative
paragraph, a cover letter for a job application, or an essay
assignment. The new edition also includes a new and updated focus
on information literacy, working with sources and writing research
papers, making this a powerful and flexible text for students and
instructors alike.
