About this title

From the Back Cover

As always, Structured Reading offers a systematic, research-based approach for helping students improve their reading comprehension skills. Research in reading improvement consistently confirms that grade-point averages are raised significantly when instruction emphasizes the analytical and critical reading skills used in this book. Our approach in Structured Reading is grounded in psycholinguistic theory, based on the principle that readers improve not by reading about reading, but they learn best from guided, hands-on experience with the reading of complete selections.

NEW FEATURES TO THE SIXTH EDITION:

• NEW―An Instructor's Edition. For the first time, Structured Reading comes with an Instructor's Edition, complete with exercise answers and teaching tips right in the text for instructors. The Instructor's Edition makes Structured Reading easier than ever to use.
• NEW―A completely revised, thoroughly expanded Part I: How to Structure Your Reading. This section has been doubled in size to give students plenty of opportunity to practice individual reading skills before moving on to the 30 full-length readings in the text.
• NEW―Five new reading selections, including essays on road rage, coping with language barriers, Texas' Juneteenth celebration, death penalty victims, and crossing the border into the United States.
