O knihe

Reading Strategies for College and Beyond provides students with simple, practical strategies designed to improve comprehension of academic works and promote collegiate success. Grounded in an understanding that academic texts can be structurally complex, this book presents strategies that help students develop their critical thinking skills, comprehension, and recall abilities. Throughout 18 interactive modules, students learn how to break up large amounts of text and information from a variety of disciplines into manageable, accessible chunks. They also learn how to recognize the key features of a text, identify visual cues, analyze strategic approaches, and remain active and engaged while reading. As students learn new reading strategies, they are tasked with applying them to reading assignments from their own courses. Through practical application, students learn that reading is not a passive process, but rather an active one, influenced by what they bring to the text, how they prepare to read, and what they do while reading. The third edition includes fresh reading excerpts on the topics of the pomodoro technique, art history, ethics and social responsibility, the dark side of the internet, graphic organizers, and how to read primary research articles. Reading Strategies for College and Beyond is an excellent resource for students who wish to approach higher education textbooks, or any educational resource, with confidence and know how.
