Bridges: Reader for Writers (Paperback)

For use as a reader in any Developmental Writing or Introduction to Writing courses in English departments. Bridges provides students with high interest readings and instruction. The purpose of this reader is to help students build bridges among understanding and using the four communication skills-listening, speaking, reading, and writing-and their interrelations, focusing on how the other three can help students improve their writing skills. Through this diverse presentation of readings and oral activities, students discover something meaningful to write about, and through examples, practice, and feedback, they will develop both competence and confidence, improving their writing.
