If your college students need practice with the type of critical reading strategies required in today's college classroom, Reading for College: Strategies for Critically Analyzing Informational Text, provides you with methodologies and activities for walking students through the inferential and metacognitive thought processes required for proficient non-fiction comprehension. In each chapter, we scaffold reading and learning by providing two types of 'Try This' exercises. We always start with a practice round using really easy text, giving readers the opportunity to really learn how the strategy works. A second practice activity provides practice with the same strategy in more academic text.Reading for College: Strategies for Critically Analyzing Informational Text is divided into four parts. In Part I, we talk about why college-bound students might not have learned to do this type of critical reading in school, and how they can change their mind-set about what it means to truly comprehend. Part II discusses how proficient readers analyze non-fiction text and provides deliberate step-by-step strategies for active critical thinking before and during reading. Part III is all about thinking critically and making accurate inferences across different parts of the text, including sentences, paragraphs, sections, the author's text structure, and text features. Part IV provides an opportunity to put everything together. It walks your students through how to think with really challenging or incoherent text, how to read across more than one article or chapter, and finally, how to monitor their own reading comprehension along the way.
