About this title

About the Author:

After receiving her B.S. at Southern Connecticut State University, where she was certified as a teacher of secondary reading, Laraine Flemming went on to earn an M.A. in English literature at Boston College and a Ph.D. in American literature at the State University of New York in Buffalo. During her career, Flemming has taught students from elementary to graduate school covering subjects as varied as reading and writing, American literature, time management, speed reading, and study skills. She began writing textbooks while working as Director of the Reading and Writing Center at Dean Junior College. In need of a reading textbook that had lots of exercises combined with genuinely thought-provoking readings, Flemming decided to write her own.

Review:

"I really appreciate the informal, friendly, nonthreatening tone of the explanations and examples in the book."

"The explanations and clarity of explanations/format of models for key concepts are my favorite parts of this book. My students tell me that they are very clear and like the summary boxes that give them tips, summaries of key points, or those that ask them to recall main points ("check your understanding" boxes)."
