Reading for Results

The mid-level text of Flemming's successful series, "Reading for Results" hones students' comprehension skills and introduces them to the basics of critical reading. Featuring the author's trademark high-interest reading selections--including multi-paragraph readings to prepare students for college-level texts--this developmental text motivates students to complete numerous exercises and tests, while simultaneously fostering the idea that reading is a stimulating and exciting activity in its own right.Step by step, students learn strategies for improving their vocabulary and using "SQ3R," a well-known system for how to effectively "survey, question, read, recite," and "recall" material from college textbooks.Basic reading skills include how to find main ideas; draw inferences; locate supporting details; and understand charts, graphs, and tables.Two chapters are devoted to patterns of development, one on recognizing patterns in paragraphs and one on combining patterns in paragraphs and longer readings.Laraine E. Flemming is the author of 'Reading for Results', published 2004 under ISBN 9780618391158 and ISBN 0618391150.
