Authors Winkler and McCuen-Matherell have created a two-book writing series that takes into account many of the known difficulties that developing writing students have with English language skills and strategies. The authors have successfully reached more students by providing the most varied practice exercises of any writing text: Every unit contains Practice Exercises, Unit Tests, Unit Talk-Write Exercises, Unit Collaborative Assignments, Unit Writing Assignments, and Photo Writing Assignments.  These diverse exercises will help students of all types—visual, auditory, and collaborative learners—learn and retain the material.
