Reading for Thinking


Reading for Thinking
7 edition -Laraine E. Flemming
W..worth P..shing | 2011 | ISBN: 0495906395
704 pages | PDF | 17,1 MB


Incorporating a wealth of practice exercises and high-interest readings, READING FOR  THINKING focuses on improving reading skills at the "micro-level" and moving on to the  "macro-level." Over half of the book is devoted to evaluating, drawing inferences, and  identifying tone, bias, and purpose. The Seventh Edition continues to focus on developing  students' comprehension and critical-thinking skills. 

Flemming uses a carefully designed  sequence of explanations and exercises that allows students to approach critical reading as  a natural extension of essential comprehension skills, rather than a discrete set of new  strategies. Armed with the ability to both analyze and evaluate a writer's work, students  apply those twin intellectual tools to Flemming's trademark high-interest readings to  determine purpose, analyze evidence, detect bias, recognize tone, and compare opposing  points of view. Vocabulary quizzes have been added to each chapter.
