Reading Across the Disciplines provides reading strategies for a variety of academic disciplines (more than any other available text), concise skill instruction, and extensive practice to improve college-level reading and thinking skills. Reading Across the Disciplines is organized into three parts for flexibility and ease-of-use. Part One presents a brief skill introduction (in handbook format) introducing students to essential vocabulary, comprehension, critical reading, and reading rate skills.
