Seeing the Pattern: Readings for Successful Writing

by Kathleen T. McWhorter

A learning and reading specialist with over 30 years of experience, Kathleen T. McWhorter applies her knowledge of how students read and understand texts to Seeing the Pattern , a unique new rhetorically arranged reader that offers more help for students than any other reader. Building on proven features from her widely adopted composition text Successful College Writing , McWhorter has developed innovative techniques to strengthen students' reading and writing skills and help them see the rhetorical patterns and then use them in their own writing. The result is a visually oriented rhetorical reader that improves upon the genre by offering underprepared students the extra help they need to achieve success in their college-level writing.
