Reading to Learn

Originally published in 1982. This book is concerned with the new kinds of demands on our reading ability made by the work we undertake for A-level or in college or at university or indeed at work. It is not a speed reading book or a reading skills book. Anyone with a lot of reading to get through may not want to read all of it quickly. Some things can be skimmed through; others take a lot of reading. This book helps readers discriminate and gives techniques to assume responsibility for their own reading. <p></p> <p>The book takes the form of a reading workbook and consists of a number of exercises together with an interleaving commentary along with suggestions for further work. It can be used by the individual student by students in groups or with a teacher and as a sourcebook for courses in study skills.</p>
