This book is divided into twelve Chapters that include the skills and strategies that can help students cope with the demands of reading college materials, completing reading assignments and taking reading tests. The first Chapter explains the causes of poor comprehension, the steps in ACTOR (Activate, Connect, Trigger strategies, Organize ideas and Respond) and the strategies that students can follow to become an efficient reader.
