Synopsis

A COMMUNITY OF READERS: A THEMATIC APPROACH TO READING, 7th Edition, will help you engage in all steps of the reading and learning process: reading, discussing and reflecting, writing, and critical thinking. Using the unique PRO system--Prepare to Read, Read actively and reflect, and Organize to learn--you will develop and follow a concrete learning process that will help you examine fact and opinion, understand bias, think critically, write effectively, and much more. Each chapter also introduces a key reading skill, such as identifying main ideas or inferences, while focusing on a single theme to help you develop schema, the essential plan that helps you understand and retain more of what you read. A COMMUNITY OF READERS: A THEMATIC APPROACH TO READING has been fully updated with new full-length readings, a variety of new visual aids, and a revised Reader's Toolkit for self-testing and enhancing your college-level reading skills.
