  Reading Across the Disciplines offers an unequalled scope of academic disciplines, concise skill instruction, and extensive practice to improve college-level reading and thinking skills.

   

  Reading Across the Disciplines is organized into three parts for flexibility and ease-of-use. Part One presents a brief skill introduction (in handbook format) introducing students to essential vocabulary, comprehension, critical reading, and reading rate skills. Part Two has thirteen chapters, each containing three readings representative of a different academic discipline. The text then culminates with Part Three for two complete textbook chapters that enable students to practice skills on longer pieces of writing.
