The Bedford/St. Martin's Textbook Reader by Ellen Kuhl Repetto - Second Edition, 2013 from Macmillan Student Store

Practice in reading college textbooks across the curriculum

For use either as a supplement or a stand-alone text, this brief, inexpensive collection of chapters from market-leading introductory college textbooks gives students essential practice in reading across the disciplines. Beginning with a chapter on college success, The Bedford/St. Martin's Textbook Reader also includes chapters from current texts on composition, mass communication, history, psychology, and environmental science. Comprehension questions and tips for reading success guide students in reading college-level materials efficiently and effectively.

Features

    6 current textbook chapters — reprinted in their entirety — from popular textbooks for common first-year courses serve as real-world models for the kind of reading students will be expected to do in college.

    A common theme — work — links all six chapters, encouraging students to understand varied perspectives, make connections among them, and apply what they learn to their own lives.

    Introductions to each chapter acquaint students with the material they're about to read, calling students' attention to specific elements within the chapter to aid in comprehension and drawing connections to chapters in other units.

    Comprehension questions following each textbook chapter, ordered from least to most challenging, guide students from basic understanding through analysis and critical response.

    A general introduction, "How to Read College Textbooks," walks students through the process of active reading and explains how different features of college textbooks can help them learn more successfully.
