Sentences, Paragraphs and Beyond with Integrated Readings Book

Editorial ReviewsReview"Is the best textbook I've found for developmental writing classes. The logical development from parts of speech through the essay makes sense for me and my students.""I think the reading-centered writing is very useful in providing form and techniques for the students. This approach helps the students create an awareness of using models of writing and putting their own style (voice) into a particular form. I believe that providing clear forms and models gives our students something concrete to build on." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. Product DescriptionSentences, Paragraphs, and Beyond is the lower-level companion to Paragraphs and Essays in the popular two-level Brandon series.

Clear, explicit writing prompts support each reading and focus on text-based, reading-related, cross-curricular, career-related, and general topics.
