Titles in Barron's Painless Series are textbook supplements designed especially for classroom use by middle-school and high school students. The approach of each title is an appeal to students who think that the subject is boring, or too difficult, or both. The authors, all experienced educators, take a light approach, showing kids what is most interesting about each subject, and how seemingly difficult problems can be transformed into fun quizzes, brain-ticklers, and challenging puzzles with rational solutions. Here is practical advice that transforms essay writing into a satisfying experience for middle school and senior high school students. The author offers tips on enlivening writing with vivid images, smoothing out sentences, silencing the dull passive voice, and adding rhythm to writing. He also shows how to create a template that students can use when writing research papers for all subjects. In addition, students will find web site reference s cited throughout the text, which they can access. Brain ticklers (short quizzes) appear throughout the book with an answer key at the back.
Painless Writing
| Customer Rating: | I love writing and so do my children but I realized long ago we learn by reading what others have written..This book is very easy and fun. I think it will be very helpful as the children go through various stages of writing school papers.
The service was great and the book in great condition when it arrived. |
Pathfinder of Effective Writing!
| Customer Rating: | I'm really fired up! Painless Writing does help us get rid of turgid and stilted way of writing, that's for sure. This must save us a lot of waste which annoys readers. I noticed that shorter and more concise sentences come before longer and wordier ones. I haven't finished reading it yet, though. Especially, too many prepositions and passive voices get on my nerves and dilute my enthusiasm for reading. For example, what if your boy/girlfriend said,"You are loved by me."? How lame! I would be embarrassed and run away! Do you know why? - It sounds too formal to suit the situation. In short, it's an automatic turn-off! From this example, I'm sure you will put plainness before wordiness.
Overall, I bet you can say good-bye to the repetition of wordiness!

Practice Makes Permanent
| Customer Rating: | Painless Writing covers pace, rythym, and writing mechanics - and so much more. To writers who want to teach yourselves, this book should be at the top of your list because it unveils the "secrets" of making text appear seamless.
Strausser conveys information in an organized and comprehensive way: he offers websites and stand-out text boxes for easy reference.
Finally, pay attention to the "before" and "after" text examples. Stausser shows a poor example, then an improved one - to reinforce the chapter lesson. Outstanding guidePainless Writing (Painless Series). |
