Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research

Second Edition

a must read, or more correctly, a must use collection of research on reading and study strategies followed by evidence-based recommendations for practice. Every learning center library, every developmental program bookshelf, every serious researcher, and every doctoral student must find a way to own this book because they will use it often when making their educational decisions. This Handbook clearly demonstrates that reading and study strategy courses, workshops, and individual facilitation can make a difference in student skills and attitudes for success and satisfaction.

Frank L. Christ, from the Foreword

The Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research, Second Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source available for college reading and study strategy practitioners and administrators. In response to changing demographics, politics, policy, issues, and concerns in the field of college reading and study strategies since publication of the first edition in 2000, this edition has been substantially revised and updated to reflect the newest research in the field, including six new chapters and a more user-friendly structure to make it easier for researchers, program administrators, college instructors, and graduate students to find the information that they need. The volume is organized in four sections:

1. Framework

2. Reading Strategies

3. Study Strategies

4. Program Delivery

In this thorough and systematic examination of theory, research, and practice, college reading teachers will find information to make better instructional decisions, administrators will find justification for programmatic implementations, and professors will find in one book both theory and practice to better prepare graduate students to understand the parameters and issues of this field. The Handbook is an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and students as they continue to study, research, learn, and share more about college reading and study strategy issues and instruction.
