INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, BOOK 2 is a developmental English book for reading and writing at the essay level. It connects the reading and writing processes so that they are fully reciprocal and reinforcing, using parallel strategies to analyze reading and to generate writing. INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, BOOK 2 teaches specific reading strategies with each essay genre and teaches rhetorical modes of writing as modes of thought. Grammar instruction is integrated in authentic writing, using high-interest professional and student models.
Good text for a remedial English course. The chapters give an easy and thorough explanation of writing & reading and have a good focus on the working relationship between the two. I would only consider adding additional writing prompts in the essay chapters to help students brainstorm and begin their essays as for many of them, that can be the most daunting part.
