Taking a holistic approach to developmental reading, CONNECT: COLLEGE READING is an intermediate level book
for reading levels 8-10. CONNECT strives to build students' confidence by showing them that many of the skills
needed to become stronger readers are skills they already possess and use on a daily basis. Using popular media
as a springboard, Dole and Taggart show students how thinking skills used while watching television or movies can
easily transfer to reading. CONNECT's comprehensive approach includes extensive vocabulary coverage, critical thinking
practice throughout, and textbook readings in every chapter to help students master college reading. The second
edition includes a full chapter on inferences, enhanced coverage of main idea, and guides for specialized reading
situations such as reading visuals, novels, and a guide to taking tests.
