This handbook teaches students to become better readers by reading interactively, monitoring emotional responses to texts, and thinking "outside the box" when interpreting texts. Neville-Lynch (literacy, Brooklyn College) offers 14 lessons for improving reading technique and also suggests ways to link reading and writing. The text includes examples of student book reviews and sample reading selections with questions to guide a critical response to them. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
