The third and last of the Wordsmith
series focuses on building, integrating, and polishing
practical writing skills. This self-directed program
allows students to take charge of their assignments
and schedules. Strong in preparing the student for
college, Part 1 addresses practical, everyday writing:
notes, outlines, personal correspondence, summaries,
business letters and reports. Part 2 focuses on the
power of language: paragraphs (principles, types, and
organization), writing techniques, and developing a
personal writing style. Part 3 concentrates on essay
writing: descriptive, narrative, expository, and
persuasive essays. Wordsmith equips young adults for a
lifetime of excellence in communication skills.
