Let's Write English is designed first of all to give students of English the guided practice necessary to develop a working acquaintance with the sentence patterns of written English in their simple and expanded forms and in the major transformations of those forms. It is hoped that students will develop a sensitivity to correct structure and word order through the controlled material presented in this book. This ability to examine their own writing critically will not only greatly assist them in polishing and perfecting writing skills, but should also greatly enhance the students' reading comprehension. Secondly, Let's Write English is designed to help students develop the ability to combine sentences into paragraphs, then paragraphs into short composition.

The introduction of grammatical structures as lesson material in Let's Write English is rigidly controlled. The books begin with a review of sentence patterns which students practice by writing them according to formula and then by expanding and combining them in closely controlled, carefully demonstrated ways. In most lessons, sentence practice leads to a suggested paragraph assignment. Carefully spaced throughout the book are Writing Practice lessons which build upon what students have learned in preceding lessons.
