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. Her inductive approach; plentiful, high-interest student models and practices; and contemporary readings engage and motivate students. 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. Every subsequent chapter offers a proofing strategy for the concept being taught. Full-color illustrations, including 45 photos, cartoons, and artworks, plus a new design, help students visualize and understand key concepts.

Motivating students with high-interest content and guiding them with a clear, functional approach, Susan Fawcett's Grassroots inspires students to succeed. With its excellent writing instruction, well-crafted exercises, and engaging writing activities, Grassroots teaches students how to write correct sentences and effective paragraphs. Fawcett introduces each topic with a boxed example and follows it up with clear, easy to read explanations. After the boxed example, Grassroots engages students with bulleted points and questions before defining the rule. Then, Grassroots inspires students and reinforces concepts with a wealth of interesting examples and practice that lead students from carefully controlled practice toward creating their own successful sentences and paragraphs.
