Publisher Description: "Academic Spelling Power"--a supplement to high school and college ESL and developmental English courses--presents effective, life-long strategies to help students practice and improve their spelling. The text provides comprehensive coverage of spelling rules and errors as well as common suffixes, prefixes, and roots. As students work through these topics, they become aware of patterns, develop proofreading skills, and learn to make educated guesses--strategies that position them for success in academic disciplines and in the workplace. Throughout the text, spelling examples from Houghton Mifflin dictionaries and texts ensure that the book' s content is academically oriented. Ample practice opportunities accompany these examples, allowing students to assess their progress and work on spelling challenges at their own pace. With accurate spelling, students can focus instructors and employers on the merits of their ideas instead of the errors in their work. |
