The most comprehensive collection of digital resources ever offered by Townsend Press to teach English, grammar, and writing skills, English Plus brings these features to your fingertips.
Three Acclaimed Ebooks
English Plus includes our newly expanded writing text, Clear Thinking and Writing, 2/e. In addition, it contains both of our acclaimed grammar titles: English Essentials and English Essentials, Short Version, 2/e. These three ebooks are accessed inside the Learning Center and include bookmarking, highlighting, markup, and note-taking capabilities.
Clear Thinking Tests
Twenty-five progressive online tests on the basics of clear and logical thinking are included with this subscription to English Plus. These tests—250 point-support items in all—gradually increase in difficulty, enabling students to systematically strengthen their logical thinking skills.
Readings Bank
Looking for fresh, engaging essays for middle school, high school, and college readers? The English Plus Readings Bank gives you 50! Each comes with a brief synopsis, assignments, Lexile readability score, and recommended age level. All essays address contemporary topics and will energize class discussions.
Instructional Video
English Plus comes with an instructional video that introduces students to the idea of making and supporting a point. Crafted to be hands-on, practical, and entertaining for middle school, high school, and college audiences, the video will be a valuable resource for students working to learn the basics of critical thinking.
Grammar Skills Assessments
Two tests of students’ written English language skills have just joined our other assessments. Easy to administer and directly aligned with the skills in English Plus, these tests can guide individual and class instruction. And our transparent, teacher-friendly score reports reveal exactly which items challenged students and which ones they’ve mastered.
English Essentials Print / Digital Items
By request, hundreds of activities from Part One and Part Two of English Essentials have been added to English Plus. These items join our existing exercises and tests to give educators the ability to assign and grade all material electronically.
English Essentials Digital Exclusives
English Plus comes with digital bonus items to accompany both editions of English Essentials. These exclusively digital resources include four exercises and two tests for key skill chapters in our grammar texts. They serve to deepen and reinforce each skill presented in the text or ebooks. Together with the book-based items, students will have ample practice with each skill.
The Learning Center
Class administration, enrollment controls, score reports, and our famously-clear, student-friendly content make the Learning Center a top choice. With English Plus, those features now can be used to teach English, grammar, and thinking skills. Try it today and see for yourself!
