About your course materials

FUSION: INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, Book 1 is a developmental English book for reading and writing at the paragraph level. It provides a holistically integrated reading and writing approach, making it easy for instructors to teach the basics of reading and writing in one blended course -- and showing students how the reading and writing processes are reciprocal and reinforcing. FUSION's structure highlights critical reading strategies side-by-side with the shared traits of writing, such as main idea, details, and organization, and guides students in analyzing reading to generate writing. The book teaches the types of writing that students will encounter in their future courses. Grammar instruction includes integrated, practical exercises that use high-interest professional and student models.

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

About this product

FUSION: INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, Book 1 is a developmental English book for reading and writing at the paragraph level. It provides a holistically integrated reading and writing approach, making it easy for instructors to teach the basics of reading and writing in one blended course -- and showing students how the reading and writing processes are reciprocal and reinforcing. FUSION's structure highlights critical reading strategies side-by-side with the shared traits of writing, such as main idea, details, and organization, and guides students in analyzing reading to generate writing. The book teaches the types of writing that students will encounter in their future courses. Grammar instruction includes integrated, practical exercises that use high-interest professional and student models.

Purposeful presentation of content: The table of contents is designed to accelerate and support student progress by providing the integrated strategies, skills, and applications they need to be successful college readers and writers.

Integrated structure: Parallel reading and writing strategies are introduced in Chapter 1, "The Reading-Writing Connection," and reinforced throughout the text. Chapter 1 also introduces students to the five shared features of reading and writing assignments. This integrated guidance allows students to recognize the reciprocal and reinforcing relationship between reading and writing.

Guided practice: "Review and Enrichment" sections allow students to immediately practice reading and writing skills as they are introduced. "Reading for Enrichment" activities provide background information on the reading, prereading questions, comprehension and vocabulary questions, critical thinking activities, and relevant writing prompts.
