Practical Guide to reading, thinking and writing skills Authors: P du Toit, M Heese and M Orr
Practical Guide to reading, thinking and writing skills is a workbook designed to bridge the gap between school and post-school educational institutions, with the aim to help students attain academic readiness and language fluency. Only a receptive and finely disciplined mind can effectively comprehend, formulate and communicate ideas. Therefore, academic and entrepreneurial success relies largely on reading, thinking and writing skills. The workbook can be used equally for self-study and classroom purposes, and will be of particular benefit to students for whom English is an additional language. It is therefore suitable for students studying English as a first or second additional language.
