They tune into their audience. They collaborate and seek feedback. They know credible evidence makes them credible researchers. They revise.

New writing guides support students as they compose in an ever-wider variety of genres, including multimodal genres. New reading support encourages students to become active readers. Retooled research advice emphasizes inquiry and helps writers cite even the trickiest digital sources confidently and responsibly.
