As a teacher of learning disabled students, I have used this book with my older students to help them attain the skills they need to improve their reading comprehension. Read Better Remember More presents reading skills in a systematic way that builds upon each skill that has been mastered. It contains 20 minute lessons on skills such as using the dictionary, finding the main idea, finding the supporting details etc. Each lesson is self-contained and focused on one skill. It also contains a pre-test that helps identify a student's weaknesses and strengths although it does recommend doing each lesson in order and not omit anything. This is so the student does not miss any helpful information.Reading More Understanding Better can also be used by students working on their own because the lessons are clear and the explanations are comprehensive. This book was recommended to me by another reading teacher and I am recommending it to others as well.
Wonderful, fun way to learn to read and study better!

I can scarely say enough about this book. It's fun to use, well organized, and very helpful. It would be perfect for your high school or college student. Several of us in the office have bought it for our kids and ended up studying it ourselves just because it was so much fun! You won't be disappointed with this one. The authors don't lose you in theory or try to impress you with how smart they are. It's all incredibly useful stuff and presented at just the right level in bitesize pieces. A+
