Book Description

For thirty years, students have mastered writing basics with Wilson and Glazier’s THE LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH: WRITING SKILLS. Uncomplicated, well established, and student tested, the 10th Edition continues to cover the basics of spelling, word choice, sentence structure, and punctuation -- as well as more advanced topics such as argumentation and summarizing skills -- in a brief, easy-to-follow way. Each concept includes concise explanations and many exercises (with corresponding answers in the back of the book for immediate feedback) so students quickly grasp and reinforce the subject matter. Popular Continuous Discourse exercises use tidbits from history, literature, science, and current events to engage students in the concept being explored. When the course ends, this concise text is an excellent reference tool students can use in writing papers for all their courses as well as in their careers. Forms B and C differ from Form A in their exercises, writing samples, and assignments; the explanatory sections are identical within the three forms of each new edition.
