This book addresses a wide range of reading needs by providing
exercises that focus on comprehension and word strategies. It also
provides an instructional process for meeting those needs. The
instructional process is individualized, and is designed to: (1)
assess initial reading competence; (2) direct learners to the
chapters specifically related to their particular reading growth
needs; (3) provide both learning and practice activities; and (4)
encourage self-paced progress in chapters that give opportunities for
self-evaluation. Introductory information in each chapter establishes
the purpose for reading and completing activities and serves to
motivate thoughtful participation. The book is designed to encourage
reading for meaning. Chapter 1 provides for assessment of
study-reading behaviors. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on getting meaning,
or communicating with the writer. Chapters 4 and 6 provide
instruction in identifying and understanding word meanings and their
relationships. Developing sensitivity to various language styles is
the focus of chapter 5. Chapter 7 provides a model for organizing and
using a study-reading system, and chapter 8 assesses the knowledge
and skills gained from studying chapters 2 and 7. Answers to each
chapter's activities are at the end of the book. (MG)
