Reading Across the Disciplines improves college students' reading and thinking skills through brief skill instruction and extensive practice structured around readings in various academic disciplines.

Reading Across the Disciplines is organized into three parts. Part One, “Reading and Thinking in College,” presents a brief skill introduction (in handbook format) introducing students to essential vocabulary, comprehension, critical reading, and reading rate skills. Part Two, “Selections from Academic Disciplines,” has thirteen chapters, each containing four readings representative of a different academic discipline. Part Three, “Textbook Chapter Readings,” contains two complete textbook chapters that enable students to practice skills on longer pieces of writing.

  • Four-color and visually appealing design. Increasingly college students are becoming visual learners, and visual literacy is critical to success in today's world.
  • Discipline-specific reading skills. Each discipline-specific chapter in Part Two begins with a brief list of tips for reading and learning within the particular discipline.
  • Cross-referenced skills. Questions following each reading are cross-referenced to Part One of the book, which presents a brief skill instructional overview in a handbook format.
  • Complete textbook chapters. Two additional textbook chapters make the text a complete, all-in-one resource for reading instructors and students.
  • Extensive vocabulary practice. Each reading offers vocabulary-in-context exercises.

  • Double the number of practice exercises in Part One. Each reading skill is followed by one activity for students to complete in class and one they can do out of class.
  • New disciplines addressed in Part Two. Chapters on Health-Related Fields, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences/Mathematics, Public Policy/Contemporary Issues, and Anthropology have been added.
  • A new textbook chapter in Part Three. Part Three now includes a history chapter along with the psychology chapter. The history topic is “The Post-Cold War World, 1992-2002.”
