What Reviewers Are Saying
Our students today are not only distracted by the same things that distracted us, they are bombarded by a constant stream of information via their technological devices. This coupled with the practice of reading excerpt and information in short bursts rather than entire books, compounds the inability to concentrate and read for meaning. This book contains great suggestions to approach key issues in reading that can be addressed by faculty in any content area. It gives college faculty the tools and strategies to help a generation of digital learners focus and read with purpose. -- Terri Mulkins Manning, Generational Speaker/Trainer, Associate Vice President, Central Piedmont Community College This unique guidebook needs to be in the hands of every college instructor. The author reminds us that ANY teacher who puts a book in front of a student is a reading teacher. This timely text is a tool kit of practical techniques to engage even the most reluctant reader. The author describes successful approaches to helping college-age students improve their literacy across all subject areas. Many college instructors have little or no training in teaching reading. This book proves that it is never too late for a great start in literacy! -- Kathy Perez, professor emerita, Saint Mary's College of California, consultant, and author
