Synopsis

For courses in Develomental Reading.
 
College Reading and Study Skills approaches reading and studying as inseparable skills, crucial to success in college and beyond. It teaches reading, critical thinking, and study skills while demonstrating their interdependency. Students are encouraged to approach reading and study skills as methods of selecting, processing, and organizing the information to be learned. The text also covers time management, analysis of learning style, note-taking strategies, improving vocabulary, and strengthening critical comprehension―all elements crucial to student success.
