Samenvatting

For courses in Developmental English, or for students in need of additional practice with intermediate-level reading.

 

Improve reading and thinking abilities through targeted skill instruction and extensive guided practice across many academic disciplines.

 

Reading Across the Disciplines teaches essential college reading skills and guides their application in each of 10 academic disciplines and career fields. Kathleen McWhorter helps students expand their vocabulary and comprehension, practice methods for reading and thinking critically, and enhance their ability to make inferences. The 7th Edition also introduces discipline-specific reading strategies and features more than 20 new readings — selected from college textbooks as well as from books, periodicals, popular magazines, newspapers, and Internet sources — to motivate students and demonstrate the relevance of their coursework to their daily lives.
