Description: Product InformationMaking Reading Relevant is a brief, intermediate-level reading text that manages to address all of the topics and issues needed to conduct productive and meaningful courses. The authors designed Making Reading Relevant to be flexible: it may be used as the primary textbook for the course or as a reference tool to supplement the use of outside reading materials (primary sources). Overall, the authors stress the application of reading strategies (using primary reading sources as the basis of the content) so students learn to become better, more efficient readers-not by just reading about how to read, but by applying skills to reading real sources.Product IdentifiersPublisherPearson EducationISBN-100205697372ISBN-139780205697373eBay Product ID (ePID)79602956Product Key FeaturesAuthorTeri Quick, Diane Hocevar, Melissa ZimmerPublication NameMaking Reading RelevantFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishFeaturesNew EditionPublication Year2010TypeTextbookNumber of Pages192 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.3in.Item Height0.2in.Item Width7in.Item Weight7.7 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberLb2395.3.Q53 2010Edition DescriptionNew EditionEdition Number2Table of ContentCHAPTER ONE: VOCABULARY STRATEGIES Vocabulary Strategies Overview A.
