Making Reading Relevant: The Art of Connecting by Teri Quick (English) Paperback

Description: Making Reading Relevant by Teri Quick, Diane Hocevar, Melissa Zimmer For courses in Introductory Reading, Intermediate Reading, and Developmental Reading. A flexible reading text that helps students become better, more efficient readers by applying skills to real sources Now in its 4th Edition, Making 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 in developmental reading. The authors designed Making Reading Relevant to be flexible: it may be used as the primary textbook for a course, or as a reference tool to supplement the use of outside reading materials and primary sources. Overall, the authors stress the application of reading strategies, using primary reading sources as the basis of the content, so that students learn to become better, more efficient readers—not by just reading about how to read, but by applying skills to reading real sources. The 4th Edition includes chapter updates, along with new examples, readings, and updated vocabulary resources. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Teri Quick retired in 2014 after a 40-year career in education. She started out as a first grade teacher, then became a reading specialist, then spent the last 30 years of her career at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska teaching reading and serving as the Coordinator of Faculty Development. Reading has always been her passion, and she co-authored Making Reading Relevant in order to provide a textbook that would help students become better readers.
