Writing in English: Step by Step

Writing in English: Step by Step is designed for students--from middle school through adult education--who are ready to write in English but still need a clear, structured foundation. Many learners can speak in short phrases yet struggle to form complete written sentences or paragraphs. This book bridges that gap through a systematic, confidence-building approach that moves gradually from words to sentences to organized paragraphs. It begins with the absolute basics--what makes a sentence, how to tell the difference between a paragraph and a list, and how to recognize when a thought is complete. Step by step, students learn how to organize ideas, use correct grammar and punctuation, and express themselves clearly in writing. With abundant practice, clear models, and gradual scaffolding, Writing in English: Step by Step helps learners build real writing skills--not just grammar knowledge--one stage at a time.FeaturesProgressive lessons that build from basic word and sentence formation to full paragraphsClear explanations of sentence completeness, structure, and organizationPractice exercises at every stage to reinforce accuracy and confidenceFocus on distinguishing sentences from lists and understanding paragraph unityIdeal for middle school, high school, adult education, or beginning ESL writing coursesFlexible for classroom, tutoring, or independent study useSimilar Titles: "Basic Grammar in Dialogs" by David Kehe and Peggy Dustin Kehe - Provides short, natural conversations that reinforce grammar in context and prepare learners to write accurately.The Grammar You Need: Level 1 by Eileen Cotter, Mark Alves, Michael Berman, Henry Caballero, and Patrick Randolph - Connects grammar to writing with structured explanations and guided composition tasks.Writing Inspirations by Nancy Ellen Zelman - Offers hundreds of creative writing prompts to build confidence, fluency, and self-expression in English.Write Choices: A Practical Guide to English Writing by Marlene Dolitsky - Covers sentence structure, paragraph development, and editing skills for students learning to write clearly and effectively.Dictations for Discussion by Judy DeFilippo and Catherine Sadow - Strengthens listening, grammar, and sentence accuracy that directly support writing improvement.The Grammar You Need Online Learning Series by Eileen Cotter, Mark Alves, Michael Berman, Henry Caballero, and Patrick Randolph - Extends writing instruction through self-paced, interactive grammar lessons designed to support academic and professional writing.Writing Talk: Paragraphs and Short Essays with Readings by David Kehe and Peggy Dustin Kehe - Develops paragraph and essay writing through models, guided practice, and clear focus on organization and coherence.
