Description

This Routledge book by experienced teachers examines why popular writing instruction methods like the process approach and Writing Across the Curriculum have fallen short, and explores sentence combining as a proven alternative. Backed by fifteen years of research demonstrating its effectiveness, sentence combining offers a fresh perspective for restructuring English classrooms. The authors present a comprehensive rationale for rethinking writing instruction, moving beyond widely-adopted but ineffective methods to embrace techniques supported by extensive educational studies. This guide is essential for educators seeking evidence-based strategies to improve student writing skills and overcome the challenges that leave many learners struggling with written expression.
