About this title

From the Back Cover:

With abundant exercises and reading selections, and a new four-color design, Breaking Through provides instruction and practice on the reading and study skills necessary for successful independent learning. "Everyday Reading Skills" gives tips and practice on how to research the Internet and how to read newspapers, magazines, advertisements, reference materials, fiction and non-fiction, and workplace mail. "Reader's Tips Boxes" condense advice into practical hints for quick reference. Collaborative problem solving questions offers four different questions at the end of each chapter to brainstorm ideas, think critically, and reflect on chapter instruction. "Explore the Net" exercises, following each of the three longer reading selections, encourage research on topics related to the longer reading; specific Websites are suggested. For anyone interested in improving their reading skills at the 6-9th grade reading level.
