Overview

For one semester Developmental English/ Basic Writing and Freshman Composition courses.   The Simon and Schuster Short Prose Reader combines high-interest reading material with creative, principled writing instruction.   The Simon and Schuster Short Prose Reader is process-oriented and based on interactive pedagogy; it combines creative, up-to-date writing instruction with traditional concerns for correctness, coherence, and clarity. Short, high-interest readings provide ideas for writing, suggest ways to approach a topic, and illustrate strategies for organizing and presenting information.

Students will experience success in their writing and will become more involved in learning; teachers will find the approach convenient and easily adaptable for their own course.
