Launched with the first edition of Real Writing in 1998, the Anker series acknowledges that the writing students do extends beyond the classroom to work and their everyday lives. Real Writing, for the paragraph-to-essay course; Real Essays, for the essay course; and now Real Skills, a new book for the sentence-to-paragraph course, motivate students with their message that writing is an essential and achievable skill: advice, examples, assignments, and interviews with successful former students show the relevance of writing to all aspects of students' lives. Now, the fourth edition of Real Writing gives students more help with every skill they need for college success.

Real Writing with Readings 4th edition by Susan Anker,
By Motown "Motown" (Yerington,NV) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Real Writing with Readings: Paragraphs and Essays for College, Work, and Everyday Life (Paperback)
Our instructor required this book for my English class, but I would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to improve their writing skills whether for school, employment, or any other reason that would require anything more than an informal correspondence. The author writes the details in a clear, easy-to-understand format. The practical exercises in each section help one understand the concept the chapter is explaining. There are practice tests with some chapters and the correct answers can be found in the back of the book, to check if you're correct. I think this book will be of use to me long after the class is finished!

When I ordered Real Writing by Susan Anker, I forgot to check to make sure that it included the readings, which was my fault. However, I am making it work for the student to whom I am lending it this semester.
The delivery was fast and that was very important. The book is in excellent condition and that was also a plus factor.
