Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In my classes I discuss building dendrites, but this book actually practices this theory in every chapter. I really like the section at the beginning of each chapter where it asks students to draw their dendrites and then at the end of the chapter to now draw their dendrites. This book truly practices and reinforces brain theory. So many students do not have a clear understanding as to how they learn and how important it is to their reading and comprehension. This is truly innovative and relevant to present day college students."

"This text bothers to explain the reasoning (the science) behind how students can become more effective readers while continually assuring students that they have the power to improve their reading based on that reasoning. Most other texts focus on WHY students should become more effective readers and basically issue prescriptions for improved reading without rational."

"I am thrilled that a college reading textbook finally has paired how to learn with the process of reading. It incorporates teaching the student about the brain and how it functions and then applies that to the process of reading. This is something I have tried to do for over twenty years. It's gratifying to find a text that does it so well."

"This is one of the most exciting books I have looked at in a long time. Normally, I choose my books feeling like they will be ok, but not that they will necessarily change my students' lives. I really feel like this book offers so much useful, understandable information, that students will feel like they are getting in on the "secret" of how to succeed in college. It will take some work, but because the activities are engaging and personal, I believe students will enjoy the process."

Reseña del editor:

COLLEGE READING: THE SCIENCE AND STRATEGIES OF EXPERT READERS approaches reading from a thinking skills perspective by explaining how we think, learn, and read. This expert group of authors credibly incorporates widely proven brain research and learning theory into a user-friendly dynamic reading textbook aimed at diverse learners. The bridge from the scientific research to the classroom is carefully crafted so that not only will students learn to read more efficiently, but they will also learn how to learn more efficiently. By explaining the brain science of reading, COLLEGE READING empowers students with the knowledge that they can change their brain into a more effective reading brain. COLLEGE READING teaches students how to read by providing interactive learning and reading opportunities--Making Connections, Brain Connections, Activities, Practice with a Reading Passage, Post Test, and Brain Strength Options--so that students are discovering, understanding, and remembering essential reading skills they can apply to their future coursework. All students can be naturally motivated, expert readers and learners with COLLEGE READING. Available with InfoTrac Student Collections http://gocengage.com/infotrac.
