About this title

From the Publisher:

This text approaches reading as a holistic, complex process rather than as a series of discrete, simplistic tasks. It provides strategy/skill material and authentic college reading materials in one volume -- exposing students to a broad array of good reading strategies and a large selection of authentic college reading tasks to better prepare them to be successful with the texts and tasks they will encounter as they continue in college.
