In concert with my new publisher, Cengage Learning, who has given the book a new look and a new price, I'm happy to announce that the eleventh edition of Reading for Results is on the market.
While it's impossible to please everyone who offered suggestions, I have tried in this edition to answer requests that seemed to come repeatedly from students and instructors alike.
Based on those requests, the 11th edition offers
a new chapter on visual aids and inferences
a brand new three-part vocabulary feature
a revised and expanded section on paraphrasing
a completely rewritten and updated discussion of learning strategies and styles
an explanation of the simple listing pattern of organization
more textbook selections
a revised sequence that links topic sentences and supporting details more tightly together.
For more details and the titles of the numerous new readings, see the table of contents below. And for those of you who use this site regularly, many of whom I have come to know personally, I hope you will be pleased with the changes.
