In this new edition, Reading Skills for Success continues to help students develop the reading skills and strategies they need to transition to reading material in mainstream academic settings. Designed for precollege readers and non-native speakers of English alike, the fully revised book focuses on the text-based, linguistic preparedness necessary to quickly spot key information and organizational structure in texts and avoid miscomprehension.
Written by academic experts who are practicing teachers in ESL intensive English, the book is grounded in sound pedagogical methods. Teachers will work through specific reading strategies with students; use the general activities and sample academic chapters in the book to practice the strategies being taught; and then have the students turn to outside readings, like their academic textbooks, to practice the strategies they are learning. Accessible for teachers and students, Reading Skills for Success provides a guide for developing text-based processing skills to improve reading confidence.
In Reading Skills for Success, 2nd Edition, students will:
- Learn to use word-level clues to increase reading comprehension.
- Recognize different types of expository text structures.
- Develop study skills for intensive analytical reading of academic prose.
- Practice reading strategies for in-depth, long-term understanding of complex academic texts.
- Apply skills to excerpts from actual textbooks used in first-year college courses representing a wide variety of fields in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
