Intended for the advanced reading course, Design in Reading focuses heavily on purpose, inference, and critical reading. Its coverage of organizational patterns is second to none.

After a review of the basics of critical reading--including main idea and supporting details--students practice recognizing and mapping organizational patterns. Contextual vocabulary coverage is included throughout the text. Both textbook readings and non-textbook readings are included.

  • Paragraphs and short passages used in examples and exercises are drawn from contemporary sources, as well as from college textbooks from across the disciplines.
  • Uses pattern mapping throughout as an heuristic to help students understand the various organizational structures that authors employ.
  • Vocabulary is taught in context. Questions follow many of the readings and frequent exercises direct students to create sentences of their own with new words that they encounter. The author also teaches word parts throughout Part II of the text, providing a core of high-frequency prefixes and roots.
  • Integrates instruction on higher-level critical thinking skills such as drawing inferences, evaluating evidence, recognizing propaganda and bias, and identifying logical fallacies.
  • Unique “Reading Portfolio” assignments provide opportunities for ongoing student reading and writing activity throughout the course.

  • NEW! More on the basics. The first part of the text now has five chapters (as opposed to four) on the basics of effective reading. There is extended coverage of topic, main idea, supporting details, patterns of organization, inference, and purpose and tone
  • NEW! More exercises. The author has added many new exercises, in both subjective and objective format. The second edition is perfed to allow for ease of use. Multiple-choice and true/false questions allow students' work to be easily graded.
  • NEW! More textbook excerpts. The author has added a wealth of textbook excerpts from across the disciplines.
  • NEW! Extended vocabulary coverage. In addition to coverage of Word Parts throughout each chapter in Part II, all chapters now offer words-in-context vocabulary exercises with each reading.
