Providing step-by-step reading instruction, a wide range of practice and test materials (including a separate lab manual), and a rich selection of readings from textbooks and other sources, the author makes students responsible for their reading by guiding them to improve mastery of the major reading skills while teaching students to develop a system for reading.
