Writing to Read, Reading to Write presents reading, writing and critical thinking as engaging and complementary endeavors. This focus on reading also gives students who are underprepared for the first-year composition subject a chance to practice those skills and re-apply them as they develop university level work.  it offers a process-oriented, recursive approach that supports student learning. Each chapter is based on a thought-provoking question to provide opportunities for critical thinking and includes essay prompts for students to focus their reading and plan their writing. The structure of this new title allows for flexibility in different approaches to teaching first-year composition.
