Presents reading and studying as inseparable skills, key to success in college and beyond

College Reading and Study Skills provides complete coverage of both reading and study skills while demonstrating their relationship and interdependency. The “McWhorter Way” encourages students to approach reading and study skills as methods of selecting, processing, and organizing the information to be learned. The text also covers time management, analysis of learning style, note-taking strategies, improving vocabulary, and strengthening critical comprehension–elements crucial to student success.

The 14th Edition revises and expands its coverage of the digital age in the context of reading and study; it features a stronger emphasis on discipline-specific college reading and expanded coverage of critical thinking. The thematic reader now covers non-traditional addictions and discrimination.
