4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Terego on Essay Writing, January 20, 2007
I've used a lot of writing products for our children, and for high school, this seems to work very well, especially to get them to THINK about their writing, ORGANIZE (he is big on the 5 paragraph essay) and churn it out in a timely manner. Excellent practice for the SAT 25 minute essay. To help the teacher, he has a list of over 150 essay topics in the back of the book; something for almost everyone, even the most reluctant freshman writer (though I would use this more toward the year before your student takes the SAT--probably sophomore and work on basic writing skills freshman year). Better than most I've seen or used; not really a remedial handbook though, he assumes you can write an essay, he is helping you to write a very good one.

Reviewer: Jane Airy (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews
Welcome to the world of critical thinking and writing. With this accessible text, Terego provides a step-by-step guide for organizing the thinking process, developing ideas, and creating the writer's voice. Detailed explanations and examples illustrate a logical approach to writing the essay. Not only does this book supply graphic organizers that clarify the thinking process, but also it offers student-produced examples that showcase the products from this methodical approach. Both students and teachers of writing will benefit from this practical, stimulating information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overdue resource now available, October 26, 2005
I think this book fills a long-overdue need. Students need to think about writing. The exercises and examples in this book help students realize that they are learning about themselves and how they feel about issues while they write. School has led some students to believe that we write to tell the teacher what she wants to hear. That is not the purpose of writing for the SAT or adult life, and this book helps students make that transition in their approach to writing.
