The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students by meeting the needs of nonnative English speakers, visual learners and students with varying skill levels!

Now, The Writer's World addresses the diverse needs of instructors! Prentice Hall is proud to offer The Writer’s World: Paragraphs and Essays in four individual volumes. Developed to provide maximum flexibility for both instructors and students, the volumes were created directly from the pages of The Writer’s World: Paragraphs and Essays by Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke.

Volume three, The Writer's World: Editing Handbook, is a thematic grammar handbook. In each chapter, the examples correspond to a section theme, such as The Workplace or Health Care. As students work through the chapters, they hone their grammar and editing skills while gaining knowledge about a variety of topics. In addition to helping retain interest in grammar practices, the thematic material provides a spark that ignites new ideas that students can apply to their own writing.

Are you searching for a flexible textbook program to meet your teaching needs? The Writer's World volumes offer flexibility, more value, consistency, and additional resources:

Value: Each volume sells at a price significantly less than the parent text. Should an instructor require three or fewer volumes in the course, the students get maximum value for their money. 

Consistency: The page numbers remain consistent with the page numbers in the parent text, The Writer’s World: Paragraphs and Essays. This ensures course consistency no matter which version of the text is being used. The Writer’s World: Paragraphs and Essays contains many references to other chapters through Writing Links, Reading Links and Grammar Links. Many of these have been eliminated in the individual volumes, to prevent sending students to pages they may not have in their version.

Resources: The Writer’s World has a rich collection of resources for college adopters. This collection is also available to college adopters of the volumes. Any two of the following supplements may be packaged with a volume at no additional cost:

                        The Visualizing Writing CD-ROM (ISBN: 0-13-

    Volume one, The Writer's World: Writing Process, teaches students (1) how to formulate ideas (Exploring), (2) how to expand, organize, and present those ideas in a piece of writing (Developing), and (3) how to polish writing so that they convey their message as clearly as possible (Revising and Editing). The result is that writing a paragraph or an essay becomes far less daunting because students have specific steps to follow.
