Emphasizing comprehension and metacognition, College Reading and Study Skills approaches reading and study skills as essential skills necessary for college success.  The text focuses on reading and learning as a cognitive process, encouraging students to approach reading as an active mental process of selecting, processing, and organizing information to be learned.   0321888383 / 9780321888389  College Reading and Study Skills Plus NEW MyReadingLab with eText -- Access Card Package, 12/e   Package consists of: 0205213022 / 9780205213023 College Reading and Study Skills 0205869165 / 9780205869169 NEW MyReadingLab with Pearson eText -- Valuepack Access Card
