Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Offers an extensive examination of 'critical reading' in terms of what it is, how it is understood both by students and faculty from a range of disciplinary angles, how it is taught, and how it could be taught when informed by research. What is most valuable is the fact that the authors' conclusions are anchored in and derived from actual student reading activity... An important contribution to scholarship." -Patricia Donahue, Lafayette College
