Reading Skills Handbook, 9/e, teaches the essential reading and study skills required for success in college. 

The cornerstone of the Wiener/Bazerman System, Reading Skills Handbook, 9/e, retains the features that have made it a bestseller for more than twenty-five years: flexible format, high-interest readings, clear explanations, and a multitude of practice exercises.  The step-by-step approach encourages students to move with confidence from simple to more complex skills.  An anthology of readings helps students apply newly learned skills in selections drawn from books, magazines, and newspapers and including essays, articles, textbook pages, journals, fiction, photographs, illustrations, cartoons, advertisements, and Web sites–in short, the wide range of reading opportunities available to today’s readers at home or on the job.
