Putting It in Writing (Scholastic Guides) - Hardcover

Grade 4-8-Otfinoski outlines various types of letters and offers examples of each one. Friendly, thank you, business and complaint letters are all well covered; explanations and precise tips are highlighted in blue to make them stand out. Book reports, movie reviews, school reports, and essays are also discussed with an emphasis on how to select a topic, take notes, and organize the material. Specific information on editing is not included but it is clearly inferred that editing is an important part of writing. A helpful appendix includes where to write for information about states, their abbreviations, instructions for using reference sources, and editing symbols. A useful tool.
