Reading Keys, 2/e--the first in a three-book reading series by Laraine Flemming--offers a comprehensive introduction to reading skills and strategies, from using context clues to identifying purpose and bias. Clear, accessible explanations present reading concepts without oversimplifying the process of reading comprehension. To ensure students' understanding, reading "keys" or summaries follow the explanations, breaking them down into manageable chunks. Throughout each chapter, a variety of steadily more difficult exercises assess students' understanding of the material and promote improved comprehension and critical-thinking skills. This incremental approach to instruction and assessment makes it easier for unskilled readers to absorb and master new information. The Second Edition offers more engaging readings--Laraine Flemming's signature--as well as new reading strategies for both comprehension and critical thinking; new vocabulary definitions; and new diagrams for note-taking. A complete technology package--including the Eduspace online homework and course management system, the Getting Focused CD, and the Online Study Center--provides students with dynamic learning opportunities and instructors with enhanced teaching options.
