About the Book

The authors of Structured Reading have developed an innovative approach to teaching reading at the college level: detailed instruction in the separate skills areas followed by extensive, repeated practice.   Using an FAQ approach, Part One includes instruction in the separate college-level reading skills that students need.  Parts Two through Six contain thirty complete reading selections drawn from books, magazines, newspapers, and textbooks in disciplines across the curriculum.
