Based on the belief that those studying basic or developmental English should be reading, writing, and learning grammar "at the same time" -- rather than separately -- this book offers a wide range of materials that meet the multiple needs of basic writers. Three books in one, " it provides 1) a comprehensive writing skills text and workbook for developmental English, 2) an anthology of acclaimed reading selections of enduring literary value edited and annotated for basic writers, and 3) a vocabulary builder with vocabulary exercises based on words in the readings. Exposes readers to the classics written by a diverse range of authors -- i.e., works of enduring value by acclaimed authors such as Aesop Shakespeare, Thoreau, Cervantes, and works of modern writers -- such as Richard Wright, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Maya Angelou -- that are likely to become classics in the future. Utilizes the " double-correction method" -- integrated with coverage of the writing and editing process -- to give readers an individualized means of learning from past errors. Features two chapters for ESL writers: "English Idioms for ESL Writers" and "Advice for ESL Writers." For anyone wanting solid instruction in basic writing, remedial or developmental English, or English as a Second Language.
