Publisher's Synopsis
The Reading Portfolio combines thematic readings with skill-building exercises to help lower-level developmental students learn to assimilate effective reading strategies. An innovative portfolio approach to reading encourages students to record their reactions to each selection and submit the collection for grading at the end of the course. Instructors are not limited to the portfolio approach. This text also lends itself to use with traditional grading methods. This edition highlights topics from popular culture and the media using a wide range of readings from best-selling authors.
