Stepping Stones: A Guided Approach to Writing Sentences and Paragraphs, Second Edition
Chris Juzwiak and a growing team of developmental instructors continue to uncover how basic writers learn best, pinpointing what encourages them, what discourages them, and how to serve their learning needs. Stepping Stones reflects the results of these studies with scaffolded exercises and instruction, color-coded parts of speech and writing concepts, and creative activities. With a strong visual appeal and clear explanations, this innovative textbook presents sentence and paragraph patterns so that all students can immediately grasp them, and offers carefully constructed guidance for developing and organizing ideas—-two of the most difficult tasks for developmental students.
Happy House 1 New Edition (Teacher's Book + Teacher's Resource Pack)
Happy House New Edition is a story-based course for young children with very little or no previous experience of English. Based on extensive feedback and research, the new edition of the course builds on the characteristics pupils and teachers value and love and also introduces new features to this best-selling course. It introduces English through listening and speaking and Happy House 2 offers a gentle introduction to the written word. Happy House ensures that children's first experiences of language learning are stimulating and enjoyable, thereby developing in them an interest and motivation which hopefully will stay with them through their continued language learning experience.
Stepping Stones: A Guided Approach to Writing Sentences and Paragraphs
Recognizing that many students in the sentence-to-paragraph-level course have experienced repeated failure in the past, Stepping Stones takes a fresh approach to the core challenges of the course. The book clearly articulates — textually and visually — the sentence patterns that college writers need to master. Then, it patiently guides students through every step of building these sentences and recognizing common problems in them. Additionally, the book offers unusually thorough, carefully staged guidance in developing and organizing ideas — two of the most difficult tasks for developmental students.
