The Reading Context shows how reading is a three-step process through a clear and easy-to-remember prepare-read-respond strategy. The book begins with an explanation of the context created by author, work, and reader. It also stresses the importance of thinking about who the writer is, what the author's purpose is, what kind of work is presented, and what the reader should expect to gain from it. Selections have been chosen to hold reader interest while representing the kinds of material they will meet in every area: from advertising to history, from health to economics, and even textbook material from geology to psychology. Chapters are filled with short pieces for illustration and practice and conclude with two or three longer selections. In each chapter, clear explanations of strategies to improve reading are supported by many exercises. For the development of reading and comprehension skills.
