Product Description

Active Reading Skills, based on the premise students learn best by doing, teaches essential reading and thinking skills using concise instruction, guided practice, extensive application, and feedback. Each of the twelve chapters focuses on a specific reading skill and includes instruction, practice exercises, quizzes, and mastery tests. Because the skill instruction is brief, students spend more time applying the skills through extensive practice. The actual instruction and exercise format were designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles to reach students.

This review is from: Active Reading Skills (with MyReadingLab Student Access Code Card) (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)

An excellent book for one of my college reading classes. It really brought me back to reading strategies that have been long lost over the years. A really great tool for someone who wants to get re-acquainted with their reading skills.
