Product Description: A study that applies phenomenology to the teaching of reading and writing in the classroom.

Emphasizing the connection between reading, thinking and writing, this text provides an approach to teaching developmental reading. The underlying concepts are: (1) that print is two-way communication; (2) reading is the flip side of writing; and (3) good readers can train themselves to follow the writer's path when they read.

This successful text shows students how to use study strategies by integrating their reading, writing, and listening skills. Through a balance of discussion and carefully sequenced exercises, Sotiriou coves basic college survival skills and progresses to specific strategies for studying, reading, note taking, and exam taking. Integrating College Study Skills is more sophisticated than many books on the market because it doesn't look or read like a workbook. It delves deeper into the understanding and application of basic learning strategies, more so than other study skills books, by guiding the student to use reasoning when studying.

Product Description: A guide to critical writing and reading that uses popular culture as the reading environments to teach students critical thinking skills.

This developmental reading and writing text is designed to focus the student's interest on challenging readings grouped around various topics from across the disciplines. Writing and editing assignments grow out of the readings.
