Essentials of the Essay: Writing, Reading, and Grammar (2nd Edition)

Summary: Painless Writing
Review: My 13 yr. old daughter and I are finding this book pretty user friendly. It's easy to use the book from beginning to end as well as go to what areas we deem our writing weaknesses and work from there ie. conclusions, transitional sentences. Book gives a lot of interesting writing assignments. Chen Dean writes the book in a non-intimidating style. After using 2 books of Writing Strands curriculum for homeschoolers to supplement our public school education, we find this book to be a better educational tool.
