Reading for thinking (7th ed)

Incorporating a wealth of practice exercises and high-interest readings, READING FOR THINKING, International Edition 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.
