Essential Reading Skills by Kathleen Mcwhorter
Essential Reading Skills focuses on the four essential skill areas for college-reading success (active reading and thinking, vocabulary development, literal and critical comprehension, and organizational emphasis) and improves students' reading through concise instruction, and extensive practice and testing. Each of the eleven chapters focuses on a specific reading and thinking skill, and contains exercises that get students applying the learned skill to textbooks and ends with a vocabulary enrichment exercise.
Kathleen T. McWhorter has taught reading and writing courses for over 30 years at Niagara County Community College. Her many titles provide various and flexible approaches to teaching reading and writing strategies that accommodate a range of learning and teaching styles.
All of the McWhorter books share three fundamental characteristics that have led to enormous success in the classroom:
INTEGRATION OF READING AND WRITING Reading and its integral connection to writing is emphasized throughout the books, helping students to see reading and writing as complementary processes.
FOCUS ON CRITICAL THINKING McWhorter recognizes, and features throughout her books, the role and benefits of critical thinking in the reading and writing processes.
EMPHASIS ON VISUAL LITERACY Print and electronic sources, including textbooks, are becoming increasingly visual. McWhorter's books include chapters, exercises, and features that all reinforce visual literacy.
