Product Description
This short, economical paperback enables readers to acknowledge, name, and assess the nature of their difficulties in reading and interpreting complex texts, with the ultimate goal of transforming confusion into understanding.
Helps readers to identify the knowledge they already possess and use that metacognition as a basis for encountering new texts and new interpretive challenges. Makes extensive use of student writing, in each chapter, engaging readers in the careful consideration of other students¿ writing. Offers practical tools to help readers interpret difficult texts—the “difficulty” paper; the triple-entry notebook; and reflective questioning. Covers a wide range of genres and types of texts ¿ poetry, narrative, drama, essay, and hybrid genres.
Anyone interested in learning to understand more difficult texts.
