Synopsis
The Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source available for college reading and study strategy practitioners and administrators. In this thorough and systematic examination of theory, research, and practice, college reading teachers will find information to make better instructional decisions, administrators will find justification for programmatic implementations, and professors will find in one book both theory and practice to better prepare graduate students to understand the parameters and issues of this field.
No other book currently provides a comprehensive collection of information, though college reading and study strategy programs continue to expand and can be found in four-year colleges, universities, community/junior colleges, medical schools, technical schools, and other postsecondary institutions around the world. The Handbook is an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and students as they continue to study, research, learn, and share more about college reading and study strategy issues and instruction.

Review
The Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research...is one book that should be an acquisition for libraries, developmental studies departments, and professionals. The book offers an impressive collection of research, successful strategies, ideas for future investigation, references, and suggestions for additional reading....The consistent format of each chapter--a brief overview, research, application, topics for future study, and resources--makes this book readable as well as useful. Each chapter is clearly and concisely written and not bogged down with unnecessary academic jargon.
—Research and Teaching in Developmental Education
This...volume is a very comprehensive assembly of what is presently known about education's often marginalized (but probably most necessary) area of study, College Reading and Study Skills. The Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research appears to be an essential reference for any professional whose duties include authorizing, planning, developing, or delivering and assessing appropriate, effective educational opportunities for the numerous and varied under prepared potential post-secondary students that must be served today....Should be on the desk of anyone seriously involved in this field....Strongly recommended as a collection of critical information by developmental education's most credible authors.
—The Reading Professor
This Handbook is needed, timely, and well assembled.
