Designed for high-level reading courses, the primary focus ofReading for Thinkingremains developing students' critical-thinking and reading skills. Flemming provides a thorough review of comprehension strategies before concentrating on critical-reading skills. This clear, logical sequence of instruction allows students to approach critical reading as a natural extension of essential comprehension skills rather than a discrete set of new strategies. The Fourth Edition reflects Flemming's ongoing commitment to stimulating, informative selections that motivate students to read. The text also provides a closer look at textbook excerpts and a more extensive discussion of arguments. Plus, end-of-chapter readings enable students to practice applying their critical-reading skills on long passages.
