Reading Across the Disciplines

Reading Across the Disciplines is designed to teach essential college reading skills and help you apply those skills to your studies in each of 10 disciplines, as well as your future career. With the author's guidance, you'll learn strategies to expand your vocabulary and comprehension, practice methods for reading and thinking critically, and enhance your ability to make inferences. Mathematics and literature are each given a dedicated chapter with reading strategies specific to the unique challenges of those disciplines. The text offers readings grouped by discipline that demonstrate how coursework relates to your life, with selections preceded by discipline-specific tips for success and tied to guided, skill-building practice. The 8th Edition offers more diverse, equitable and inclusive readings, passages and examples. Coverage of digital learning has been expanded and includes digital collaboration and tools, such as ChatGPT. A new self-guided study model is provided to build study skills for learning independently.
