内容説明

Essential Reading Skills is designed to improve students' reading and thinking skills through concise skill instruction, extensive guided practice, skill application, assessment, and feedback. Intended for low-level reading courses (6th to 8th grade). The text is organized into ten chapters, each focusing on a specific reading and thinking skill. Each chapter includes skill instruction, practice exercises, quizzes, and mastery tests. Because the text is brief and concise, students focus on the most essential college reading skills.
