Description:

Designed to help build a foundation for critical reading, this book uses a metacognitive approach that integrates three reading instruction components - active reading skills, cognitive concepts understanding, and pattern recognition techniques. Provides separate chapters on the fundamentals of identifying topic, idea, and main idea. Includes nearly 100 Critical Thinking exercises for improving thinking and reading skills. Reading Portfolio Assessments at the end of each chapter help readers build schema and learn to summarize and respond. Analytical Mind Maps and exercises help readers learn how idea patterns differ. Prereading activities with the major readings in the book help develop previewing techniques and strengthen metacognitive abilities. For those interested in developing their reading skills at the 8-10th grade level.
