Reading Across the Disciplines, Third Edition
Annotated Instructor’s Edition
Kathleen McWhorter

With concise instruction and extensive guided practice, Reading Across the Disciplines equips students with discipline-specific reading strategies and skills for college and everyday reading success. Reading is presented as a thinking process that requires involvement and response, with the apparatus throughout the text reinforcing the need to read actively and think critically. The text is structured around 13 academic disciplines, each hosting 3 readings from a variety of academic and everyday sources. The flexible three-part format–a reading skills handbook, discipline-specific chapters with readings, and pair of full-length textbook chapters–starts student with skill instruction and allows them to build up to the more demanding pieces of writing.
