Being Well Read means being well-informed through reading. Students are expected to read intensively and extensively in order to satisfy the majority of their course requirements, but how often are they given the skills and strategies they need to do so critically, effectively, and efficiently?
Well Read is a four-level series that develops students'reading skills and vocabulary strategies, preparing them for success in the classroom as critical thinkers.
Each chapter features:
Compelling perspectives related to the content areas, such as Reflecting on Film, Uncovering History, Rethinking Business, and Ethics in Science, inspiring active participation and engagement in the material.
Authentic texts from a variety of genres, such as online, magazine, newspaper, textbook, and journal articles, interviews, as well as graphical representations such as charts, graphs, and timelines.
Key reading skills, including Scanning, Active Previewing, Identifying the Topic, Main Idea, and Supporting Details, Making Inferences, and Skimming, providing the foundation for effective, critical reading.
Portable vocabulary strategies, taught with actual examples from the texts, promoting learner autonomy.
Writing and online extension activities, allowing students to synthesize and make the content their own.
