DESCRIPTION:
Every subsequent chapter offers a proofing strategy for the concept being taught. Using her unique M-A-P approach (Model-Analysis-Practice), Susan Fawcett's books have guided hundreds of thousands of students through the writing process, from foundations of grammar, mechanics, and spelling, through writing clear sentences and well-organized paragraphs. Full-color illustrations, including 45 photos, cartoons, and artworks, plus a new design, help students visualize and understand key concepts.. This edition of GRASSROOTS features improved grammar coverage and emphasizes proofreading, with a new Chapter 6 that teaches specific proofreading strategies and shows students how to recognize their personal "error patterns," track, and correct them. Her inductive approach; plentiful, high-interest student models and practices; and contemporary readings engage and motivate students

It has integrated a new early chapter on the importance of proofreading with proofreading tips; best, every grammar chapter contains a proofreading strategy targeted to the error or errors addressed in that chapter. Students are helped to pay close attention, find their own errors and correct them. As always, Grassroots is visually inviting, even beautiful, with contemporary passages that students actually like to read. I
