    Use

    The goal for this textbook was to revise and adapt the open educational resource (OER) textbook, Writing for Success so that the revision met the wide-ranging current needs of California community college students. We added additional scaffolding for developmental and English Language Learners to help them with reading, writing, and college success skills; materials for learning in multiple modalities; teacher resources for lesson planning and level appropriateness; and expanded materials about the reading and writing process. This in-depth revision allowed us to combine pre-collegiate level English instruction along with more traditional first year composition materials.
