College Reading Purposes and Strategies

For courses in college reading and developmental reading or a freshman English class where reading and writing are taught together. This text takes a modern approach to teach the two main purposes for college reading: study reading (or reading to learn) and critical reading and thinking (or reading to analyze, evaluate and think). Modern psycholinguistic and reader-response theory is used to teach. Writing strategies help students remember and think about what they read. Links between reading and writing are made at every opportunity.Wood, Nancy V. is the author of 'College Reading Purposes and Strategies' with ISBN 9780135338605 and ISBN 0135338603.
