Common Places: Integrated Reading and Writing supports the interdependence of reading and writing with the premise that good writers are always engaged in the reading process, not only when they are reading apart from writing, but also as they switch between the roles of reader and writer during the writing process. This multi-level text focuses on using readings as models for writing, practicing skills in a hands-on context, and working directly on critical thinking and other cognitive skills.

A very thoughtful, well organized, and seamlessly integrated text!
– Hilda Ollmann, Austin Community College—Eastview (TX)
