The Writing Skills Workbook--In Preparation for the GED Test. Test I: The Writing Skills Test. Revised Edition.
Carter, Marilyn; And Others
Intended for students preparing for the General Educational Development (GED) test, this workbook enables them to complete lessons in writing and spelling skills and to take the simulated writing skills tests. The first section contains worksheets on basic writing skills, such as sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation and the use of pronouns, verbs, nouns, and modifiers. The second section contains worksheets on spelling, including common rules--such as doubling the final consonant--and a list on spelling demons. The third section deals with advanced writing skills, covering such things as parallel construction, confusing modification, and wordiness. The fourth section, on writing practice, contains writing skills guidelines, suggestions about how to do well on the essay portion of the GED writing skills test, a planning sheet, and a writing revision checklist. Each section ends with a test on the material covered. The book concludes with a bibliography and an answer key for the worksheets. (EL)
