Breaking Through provides instruction and practice on the reading and study skills necessary to make students successful, independent college learners.

The use of actual college textbook passages offers realistic and immediate modeling and application of college study and reading skills. Students apply the skill being taught to reading short textbook passages and then go on to use multiple skills on the longer selections that conclude most chapters.

This affordable Books à la Carte Edition features the exact same content from our traditional textbook in a convenient, notebook-ready loose-leaf format – allowing students to take only what they need to class. As a bonus, the Books à la Carte Edition is accompanied by a full-color, laminated Study Card that’s a perfect tool to help students prepare for exams.
