Description

Designed for use in the first reading course, Guide to College Reading focuses on the key areas of reading comprehension, vocabulary improvement, and textbook reading while addressing the learning characteristics, attitudes, and motivational levels of reading students.

Guide to College Reading is intended to equip students with the skills they need to handle the diverse reading demands of college courses and guide them in becoming active learners and critical thinkers. The Seventh Edition offers students a new Contemporary Issues Mini-Reader, new tips in each chapter on taking reading tests, Internet activities for skill reinforcement, a revised and updated section on reading graphics, a new section on reading across the disciplines, and a new section on reading and evaluating electronic sources. The new edition uses a visually appealing four-color design, including interactive visual chapter openers.

Features

Metacognition, critical thinking, and learning styles. Critical thinking and metacognition are hallmarks of the McWhorter series. Critical thinking is incorporated throughout the text in instruction, exercises, and readings. Metacognitive activities include teaching students how to evaluate their own learning styles to increase their ability to read college material successfully.
Integration of reading and writing. Exercises that ask students to respond by writing sentences and paragraphs after reading help students understand the critical connection between these two activities.
Visual design. Numerous diagrams and drawings help students visualize how reading material can be organized. High-interest photographs and artwork appeal to the visual learner. Chapter summaries are well-designed to increase student interaction with the text.
"Previewing This Text" section in the Student Preface helps students identify key features of the text before they begin their reading.
Chapter "Mastery Tests" (multiple-choice questions that are removable for easy grading) help teachers evaluate student progress in individual skills quickly.
Chapter-ending readings give immediate practice for chapter skills and aid in transferring these skills to actual reading situations.
"Learning Style Tips" throughout the book reinforce material introduced earlier and teach students how to apply knowledge of their individual learning styles to learn new skills.

New To This Edition

New Four-Color Design. The new four-color design makes the text more visually appealing and the illustrations more effective.
Contemporary Issues Mini-Reader. Comprising a new Part Six of the book, a contemporary issues mini reader offers four pairs of readings on topics of current interest: gay marriage, vegetarianism, euthanasia, and human organ sales. Each reading begins with prereading questions and a vocabulary preview; each reading is followed by comprehension, critical reading and thinking, words in context, vocabulary review, summarizing and discussion questions. Writing exercises are also included. Each pair of readings concludes with “Integrating the Readings” questions.
Tips for Taking Reading Tests. Because many students must pass exit or competency exams, each chapter offers suggestions for approaching or answering specific types of questions included in reading tests. For example, students learn how to answer questions that test their ability to identify main ideas, details, and organization patterns. They also learn how to answer inferential questions and those that require critical interpretation.
New Section on Reading and Evaluating Electronic Sources. Given the increased use of the Internet in both daily life and academic situations, students need to approach these sources efficiently and critically. A new section of Chapter 10 discusses how electronic sources differ from print sources and require different types of reading and thinking, introduces the various types of web sites, and guides students in evaluating content, accuracy, and timeliness of Web sites.
New Section on Disciplinary Reading Skills. A brief section has been added to Chapter 9 to encourage students to adapt their reading skills to the unique demands of different academic disciplines.
New Interactive Internet Activities. Included in each chapter, these activities encourage students to explore applications of chapter skills using Internet sources. For example, to reinforce vocabulary learning, students are encouraged to visit the Wordsmith Web site and receive a new word each day by email and to explore the Merriam Webster web site, comparing thesaurus and dictionary entries. Other activities encourage students to take a online practice reading comprehension test, analyze the reliability of graphics, explore types of concept maps, and complete an online fact or opinion quiz.
New Chapter Opening Images. Each chapter starts with an image related to the content of the chapter to pique students’ interest and engage them in the subject material.
