Is there a program (book) out there that takes one from sentence construction through essays in one book?

This would be for someone (young adult) who has had various writing instruction and writes fairly well, but seems to have some gaps and would like to start from square one but not have it take years.

 

Thanks!

I think Winning with Writing does a good job of this. For a young adult, the level 8 would probably be best. Goes from sentence structure to how to complete a paragraph with topic sentences, detail sentences, and an ending sentence. Then shows you how to outline your essay and complete paragraphs to go with your outline. Then moves on to completing a rough draft, editing the rough draft and finally completing the final draft. Goes through this process for different types of essays each week.

Writing Skills from EPS might work as well.

Yep, I was going to mention this one. Starts out basic and is complete. The TM is very helpful as an evaluation tool, too, even if you aren't using the student books that go with it.
