Reading Portfolio

The Reading Portfolio combines thematic readings with skill-building exercises to create a meaningful context in which lower-level developmental students can learn to assimilate effective reading strategies. The authors offer an innovative portfolio approach to reading, encouraging students to record their reactions to each selection and submit the collection for grading at the end of the course. Instructors are not limited to the portfolio approach. This text also lends itself to use with traditional grading methods. This edition highlights topics from popular culture and the media using a wide range of readings from best-selling authors that cover credit card debt, advertising, phobia, friendship, contemporary heroes, and other issues. The accompanying set of instructor's PowerPoint slides now includes copies of the Graphic Organizers feature from the text. These visual representations illustrate key concepts under review and can be used during a lecture to encourage class discussion or reinforce essential points. This edition now comes with a test bank and an Instructor's Annotated Edition to provide more support for instructors and advice for adjuncts.Bosco, Diane Perotti is the author of 'Reading Portfolio' with ISBN 9780618256600 and ISBN 0618256601.
