For thirty years, students have mastered writing basics with Wilson and Glazier's THE LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH: WRITING SKILLS, FORM A. Uncomplicated, well established, and student tested, the tenth 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, clear, easy-to-follow way. Each concept includes concise explanations and numerous 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. Once the course ends, the text's brevity makes it an excellent reference tool that students can continue to use.
