The Reader's Handbook is organized into three parts: Part 1 is an explanation of strategies for mastering discrete reading skills; Part 2 focuses on reading in a wide variety of different academic disciplines; and Part 3 covers reading in the everyday world (print media, electronic media, contemporary fiction, graphics, mail, workplace, etc.) The Reader's Handbook is meant as a resource for lifelong learning, and contains practice material throughout. Its companion volume, The Lifelong Reader, offers a wealth of additional readings and practices organized along the Handbook's table of contents.
