Inquiry-Based Reading/Writing Projects Born out of Peter Adams’ experience in the classroom, the Reading/Writing Projects (Part P) a complete, inquiry-based pathway through current, relevant topics—from “The Marshmallow Test” to “Disability”—to teach essential reading and composition skills.

Flexible, Modular Content for All Faculty—and All Students Instructors build the course that’s right for them and their students by integrating material from Parts W (Writing), R (Reading), D (Research and Documentation), and B (Balancing School, Work, and Life) with the core Part P Reading/Writing Projects. With the help of the Instructor’s Manual’s suggested course plans and Achieve’s easily modified prebuilt course, instructors can design a course that meets their objectives. For corequisite composition courses, Achieve lets students sign in to their composition and corequisite sections with one easy process–and no additional fees.

Integrated Reading and Writing Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin: Readings provide models of good writing, and  writing about readings promotes deeper understanding of their content, builds connections with prior knowledge, and provides topics for composing.

Thorough coverage of non-cognitive topics Because non-cognitive issues can so easily derail student success, Peter Adams developed units that enable students to resolve problems that block their path to academic success.
